Sitting across from their table
I watch the two men exchange
their friendly greetings
hugs are given, hands shook
they sit down, one orders coffee
he's the older of the two
the younger ice water with lemon
he's vibrating with energy
their drinks come
the younger runs a hand
through his curly hair
his mouth is going a million
miles a minute
the older man smiles politely
and listening to the younger's
memorable summer with
a new found lover.
The younger searches the
elder's green eyes for some sign
the elder just stares at the
younger's smooth hands
the younger sighs and
calls for the check
'I'll get it' he says
pushing the elders money back
'You've taken care of me long enough'
'I'm not that kid any more' he spits
out at the older man, bitter.
The younger hurries home to
her. To take solace
in the wrong arms.
The elder is left staring
out the plate glass window
long after the younger has left
staring at the willow blowing in
the light, summer breeze.

yeah somewhat of a gay connotation, but a muse hit me and I had to write it, you know how it is.

This was cool, i like the conflict of emotions here, and how you express that people can expect to find love from the most unexpected sources. Nicely written too, well done.
