It is there on your face, sweet and so shy causes thought as to what story there is I know it by instinct of my own recollections like almost made up to hide some pain being able to hear your shadow whisper long told advise………….yet deep in the heart a satisfaction of making yesterday a thing of the past. I pass you on the sidewalk eye to eye an understanding I imagine, a way to comfort oneself that we are not alone or was this just wishful thinking, old news blowing down a sidewalk strangers with no idea what was being thought…who knows,… we just said Hello with a nod and a smile.
