Waiting... Waiting... waiting...

The anticipation is overwhelming, after all, she is off to be married in the not-so-distant future...

Why am I here then?

I am addicted to the drama that may unfold—

A sickening display of character I tend to represent almost consistently on a subconscious level.

If her lips were a drug, they would be heroin because I am addicted...

Aimlessly seeking another hit, a constant gamble on a drug with long-term negative side effects... A bad seed.

But I like it. I cannot get enough.

I hop on a train and head for nowhere, swigging a bottle of Macallan 12, which gets smoother after each sip until I drift off into another dream.
