Well then...

Another random poem I guess?

Stranger

Hey, hi!
I almost didn't see ya
It's been awhile, hasn't it?
I'm doing good, I've got no complaints.
I'm not driving that old beater anymore,
Got myself a new car, doesn't break down on me.
The family is great, everyone misses you.
Mama had a scare, the Big C, but Lord knew what's to be
Daddy is retired now, he won't leave Mama alone.

How are you? Where have you been?
That's good, you always had a talent for it.
It's been so long, you've been busy, I'm sure.
I saw your brother the other day, he seems fine.
How about…?
Oh.
Oh.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.

I've gone and made it awkward. Just like I do.
I don't know what to say, sorry doesn't feel like enough
Oh, yes, you go ahead, I sure do know.
Those errands, they won't run themselves, will they?
It was great, seeing you. It's been too long.
Call me when you have free time.
Don't be a
