Title goes to my co-writer. This is a collaboration with Shannon.

I have six hours,

 and then I should sleep.

Won't you join me for a drink?

 All fruity.

 Sip a sweet tart?

Bourbon and coke.  

Smokey flavor.

Drink your drinks,

 full of longing.

Hopeful memories,

 vacations lingering.

Sorry, you know I run off at times.

I don't mind when you run off. ☺️

Mix some sour apple, absinthe, fresh lime juice and grapefruit Italian soda. 

It's probably the girliest things I like.

Sadly,

 I walk away,

   my imaginations provide the flavor.

Seem to hear a voice.

 No need to be sad. 

It's what happens when an artist and technician meet.

Well, I only know one of you guys, so I would probably offend one or both if I were to guess who the sweet part and "sour" parts were. But I will say that this is a wonderful collab, and that's coming from someone who avoids collabs like the plague.
The last line really speaks to the reader, making them want to read it again and again.

This is one where comments back and forth seemed to match. Conversation shared, and with permission. I wish I could claim the last line, but to be true, the words came from Shannon, often shy, ignoring her rightful due.

[Jon Roggie]

Also, I was the sour, even if I stuck to the bourbon and coke.

[Shannon]

He likes to pretend to be sour. More like refreshing.
Thank you for your kind words. That last line is...my bain as a writer.

[Lorry]

Yes he is, but would never say himself ,:)

[Jon Roggie]

I do try and hold up some form of a reputation.

[Lorry]

Your rep is impeccable Jon :)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

very clever collab.

opposites attract....sweetness mixed with cold hard reality...
each gives a little...has another drink.

[Jon Roggie]

Since you have been involved with one of my schemes,
you realize I will turn a conversation into a write.
Granted, I let the participants know.
Shannon added the wistful flavor. I was the bitter.

That's a great way to describe it. In this case I think we alternate.
