After a Drunken Misunderstanding

I didn't mean
What you thought I meant
That is the truth
Nothing more to say
Everything else is drunken bullshit
I love you
Even when you kick me out of bed
You are my heart, Tsigeyu
I would have moved away
From my children and grandchild
For no one less
I am here for the rest of my life
Or as long as you can tolerate me
My soul sings your name
