Back and Forth
Buck rode into BG all dusty and hot,
"Deputy Darkly!" He showed the bag he had brought.
"This bag is from Lou - I don't know what's inside,
But it must be important, from what Lou implied."
Buck left the bag with Myna and rubbed down his horse.
Then went to get food - noodles, of course.
Everyone wondered why Lou hadn't come back,
And wondered what she had put in the pack.
Buck could feel their suspicion and grew uneasy.
His worry over Lou was making him queasy.
"I've got to bring her back to ease their qualms.
What if Lou won't come, and she sends me along?"
He let his horse rest and tried to think of a plan.
He needed to get back to Lou and that man.
But Lou had asked him to go - did she want to stay?
The man had kissed her, plain as day.
"A kiss isn't everything," Buck reminded himself.
"Maybe he's just a lover who's been on the shelf.
Besides, if Lou chooses him, you should let her go.
She's never given you a reason to hope, you know."
Buck waited 'til morning, then saddled to ride.
He hoped he'd be back with Lou at his side.
