I sit in a restaurant, quietly drinking my wine...
I notice our waiter in his black & white clothes, His shoes were old and raggedy. I think of him struggling to earn a living, Surviving off the tips customers give him after serving their food and drinks... And yet he is smiling.
I watch a 65 year old couple playful arguing about what to eat. Surely They've been doing this for years cause the waiters greet them by name. Aah, Love never grows old. *(Mr & Mrs Koekemoer)
I see a business man suited and booted. His always on the phone and always in a hurry. He spills some coffee on his white shirt. Ag! He seems to be annoyed with himself...
Now I'm looking at this Girl in front of me. A cute yellow-bone with a mini-afro. She has brown eyes and her lips are shining with cherry lip-gloss. Her smile can sink a thousand ships. Wow, I'm happy around her.
But...
I notice the missing finger she tries to hide with her other hand. No poetry can describe thy brutality. But still, she is WORTH it...
I wanna tell her this but I am too shy... So, I smile at myself for being a coward. (coward, as I slowly drink the rest of the wine...)
