strangers and friends

So we sit and laugh.
Perhaps one of us could tell a story or perhaps an anecdote. or two.
We’ll watch the view and throw back a few.
Stranger. we haven’t yet begun.

Poke and joke.
And laugh a little more, tell us another story.
We’ll drive around; go to that place you found.
Stranger. we haven’t yet begun.

Of Quiet things.
you hush and shush. Don’t tell anyone.
I swear.
Old times and secret crimes.
Stranger. we haven’t yet begun.

Fun in the sun.
What do we do? Did someone bring the guitar?
We’ll sing a song, words all wrong.
Stranger. we haven’t yet begun.

Tears and fears.
You lift your veil and show me your pain .I finally see you, for you.
Your wounds your scars I see them clear. I understand you now.
We’ll watch the view and throw back a few.
my friend, we’ve only just begun.
