A Friend at a Meal in a Pub by the Sea 8 October, 2021 Day after day I had little to say To colleague or friend, at work or at home, The afternoons were grey, dark grey, And all weekends were monotone. Then a friend at a meal in a pub by the sea Just happened to say that you still loved me, Just happened to mention you loved me still, So I left the meal and my friends all there. I went outside and I smiled at the rain, And I walked to your house to start again.
