Just Souls

JUST SOULS I use to walk down the Cafe Street. The place of my reminiscence is in the South. The jooking was heard throughout this section of town. Leland, Mississippi is so quiet now. Walking through Uptown finds peace from the noise that made the City sparkle... The wigs were beautiful that women wore. The men in their Stacy Adams shined on the dance floor. An A-line dress or maxi maybe a miniskirt you would wear. You were dressed to kill. Turn your man's head with jealousy. He would shout and tell you that you are with him. You were as jealous when you lost his attention. An argument may start if he was not so careful. However, you would make-up because he would defeat the purpose. This is your long-term relationship - nothing more in it! You bleached your hair and put aside your wig. Striking features, this gave. He had matured as well. You are now a couple for fifteen years. Not married just don't see a reason to do that. You laugh and say if people talk who gives a damn! Our love stands the test of time. The ending is not told, just souls.
