Bittersweet
Going to her 40th high school reunion
Ann was nervous but thought it'd be fun
wearing her name tag and walking around
her bunion hurting but not making a sound,
Wondering whatever happened to her first
they bumped into each other because of their thirst
drinking punch and reminiscing about the time
they had split up as teens for no reason or rhyme,
Both divorced now with married kids of their own
they were heavier and not wanting to be alone
joining weight watchers together which was a treat
dating each other again which was bittersweet.
