An Apology and Perhaps a Little More
The sun fell in a little tent
Where Chechi got a place
Due to Ruechari's help
The owe Chechi had to face
Rue had bailed her out of jail
She had taken care of her, too
She stood, without doubt, in for her fail
Though Chechi in town was new
3Gun had given back the bail
Chechi was really thankful
That the sheriff understood his fail
Though both of 'em had tangled
Somehow she felt weak and locked
Between these four linen walls
She walks out in the last sun's glance
And on the street the sheriff she sees
"3Gun, have you short time for me?"
She calls, fastening her walk
He nods, though he is quite surprised
"Well, 'bout what you wanna talk?"
"You see", she says, "I truly want
To apologize to you
I don't think, what I've done was right
And again, I'll never do."
He slightly smiles. "No worries here.
No harm was done, alright.
If that was, what you wanted to say
Then, bye, it's getting late."
Chechi smiles back. "Well sheriff, the truth
Is different a bit
The reason I'm here, is that I wanted to see you
Is...", she stutters around.
"You see, sheriff", she at last goes on
"I saw folks all over the plains
But someone like you, I've never found
Not in this entire earth."
3Gun is silent, you can hear no sound
Neither out of his, nor of Chechi's mouth
Both just stand there, looking at each other
And Chechi gets nervous, which is no great wonder
After a few minutes Chechi takes a breath
"Good evening sheriff", she says and then leaves
3Gun stares after the girl
That's walking off again
Her feelings in a swirl
Her heart feels great pain
She struggles, if she should go back
Or leave, just as pretended
She sees the sky, it's turning black
And her doubts are surrendered
She fast runs back
Her heart beat fastens
Just as her steps
And 3Gun she reaches
She taps on his shoulder
He looks at her
The air's gettin 'colder
She gives him a soulful stare
Chechi Nikash's feelings are easy to face
She closes her eyes, counts silent the seconds
And the confused 3Gun receives an embrace
