Instead of waiting
Forever
In a line,

For pills,

Frank asked
To take me out
For dinner.

We sat

Directly infront of each other.
The atmosphere of the place was very
Happy.

It infected me.

I was happy
Too.
"Frankie,"
I tilted my head,
"Do you think I'm messed up?"

"We're all messed up."
He said.
"But Gerard, you'll be okay."

Our food had arrived.

I just had
Chicken Parmesan
And Frank
Had Spaghetti.

Both platters were covered
In spices
To look fancier.

But that didn't matter.
The flavor
Exploded
In my mouth
When it lay on my tongue.

It danced
And jumped
The more I chewed.

Each different flavor
Collided together,
Into something spectacular.

I wanted to close my eyes.

It was the best food
I think
I had ever eaten.

For the first time
In a long time,
I was eager
To devour
This.

I glanced at Frank,
His face spelled out
What I had experienced.

"This is so good," I exclaimed.
He hummed in agreement.

I had much more left,
Even though I was full.

And by the time I was full,
It was about the same time
That my pills were available.

Frank and I
Laughed
As we left.

Outside,
I hooked my arms around his neck
And I laid my lips
Upon his.

I was given
Antidepressants
Antipsychotics
And Lithium pills
To control my mood.

I had to take one of each
Every day.

I'm just afraid
Of my side effects.
But I took them
Anyways.

I'll be okay because they'll make me sane.

---
I want to thank my best friend Mary for helping me come up with what food they ate QwQ.

But the dosage of medicine Gerard takes is made up. idk if that's what and actual person would take, and I tried looking it up, but I didn't find anything.

I just wanted to make that clear.
