Wine.

This idea is elusive.
Volleyball stars chase you in their fancy cars...
You never wanted anything from them.
You notice the older ones,
Maybe they're wiser,
Maybe they can teach you something.
You'll just end up falling for their traps and tricks.
You're so gullible.
They come and go from you like seasonal allergies and birthdays.
They gift you with things you don't need like
Doctor bills and candles, like runny noses and wrapping paper.
You see them enjoying the finer beverages,
Coffee, wine,
You debate their sobriety and you take them seriously.
