take the long road ahead

7 2 2
                                    

The girl with the backpack walking

With only one thing in mind home,

A woman on the streets to her left sells

Roses, the girl with the back pack

Look across the road above the cars that

Probably only have some destinations in

Mind or the most meaningful one home

The girl keeps walking, looking ahead

But stops again taking out her ear plugs

The music muffle against her back jacket

Black backpack, black shirt shoes, pants

Black Hair band

She turns walks towards the woman

after crossing the road, like a bridge like

a helping hand like a I feel you, I see

you, gets a Crumbled 10$ straightens it

out

"Hello, goodnight how much for the rose?"

The woman: smiles with something in it

Wiping her face with a hurry

"Goodnight, 7$". The woman said.

Looking curious with something in it

Handing her the ten dollars with a smile

With noticing with little but with

something the girl picked a pretty one

Most red but beautiful one giving a last

wave with a smile she walks off not fast

not in a hurry not slow either

But with something in it,

She could hear the echo of the woman

calling her back yet she dosen't really,

not fully turned around wave again

She's gone.
