Special

I hesitated to say that what we
had was special, it was what it 
was, we made it through and that 
was enough.

Now that we’re older and reading
obituaries of old bastards, we 
never thought would die, perhaps 
there’s a place at the top of that 
hill in the park we walk the dogs 
in, for a bench with our names 
on it where we can sit to look back 
and admire the view while we’re 
still around.
