We left together. You who jumps in anger with a friendly touch. We sat on the bus. Never having been so close. And as the day wore on we met up with our mutual friend. Someone I hold so dear. Someone who looks out for me and protects me. Three, for once - Thank God! - for once wasn't a crowd. Because we all share a common past and it connects us like outsiders would never understand. We shared a drink on the hill. A smoke. Our laughter. Our bitterness. My anger. "Okay, just chill," you said. And we changed the subject. Men don't vilify me like women can. So we saw you home and then you and I wondered where to go with a few hours to kill. Me, ever a woman, wanted to shop. But sensible you said let's go sit at the picnic table. We bonded over a shared love of the album "Solace". And I wanted to tell you how I bought the singer roses but ended up giving them to a homeless man on the way to the concert. Way back...
