He is Love; She is Friendship...[1]

At the table,
With the girls and guys,
Stuffed in the middle of the cue,

At the table,
Waiting for her,
The beautiful Pheowna—
No wait…
Sue,

Looking into the eyes of a stranger,
In a extravagant suit,

Being started at by a Stranger,
Crammed in the middle—
Picking at her soup,

Oh no,
Oh yes,

Look away now,
Don’t look away now,

Frankly there is something I see in you,
Something new in me?

I get up to leave,
Please don’t leave,
Out the door,
She’s gone—
‘Here comes the one I adore?’ Tessa? No, Sue—
I think.
