Today’s Surprise

Took a sea bath and it was strange to be

On the sand walking with you not there with me

Didn’t feel the same but I drown the pain

A smile with the others and with old friends a smile again

You wouldn’t be there either when I got back

So there was no hurry walking that dirty track

Showered away the sand and again loneliness came

Use Cif, you joked as you called my name

Remembered it all like it was yesterday

Pink soft colored dress or fucha they say

Right when I was feeling my worst a screen came on

I suspected an intruder because you were long gone

Some fifteen minutes passed and on it came again

Excited, then the phone rang, “Surprise!” One word ended all my pain
