Trick Or Treat?
There’s young couple here,
and
it’s painfully obvious
that they are deeply
in love with each other.
He has red hair and a mustache.
She also has red hair but no mustache;
just a few piercings and a beautiful smile.
Watching them makes me happy
but also,
depressed as hell.
They are both free spirits-
both uniquely original.
It's pretty rare these days,
to see a young couple,
who are both unique free spirits
and madly in love.
It’s a treat really.
I once saw them wearing matching clothes.
He wore women's clothes
and she wore the same stuff she always does.
They were both working together;
serving me drinks.
I drank alone and watched them.
She is 24 and he is 20.
I know she is moving to the east coast soon;
which makes watching them in love,
a bit tragic.
It’ll all end soon.
How can watching two people fall in love,
be both tragic
and a treat?
