If a Girl is Running in the Streets at 1:45 am

If a girl is running in the streets at 1:45 am on a Friday morning

Don't you dare walk away.

You will call to her "Hey, ya good?"

And she will hobble over

Shoulders heavy

weary

And you will listen

To her stresses

Her stories of her s****y TA's

How she's not getting much sleep

Be a friend

Let her talk her worries in endless laughs

But you will want to IV in her hope, some words of advice to combat darkness

But this is all you can do.

And she will walk away from you

bidding ado

without a thank you.

Your walk home will be changed

"At least we exchanged numbers."

You'll think.

At least I didn't walk away

At least I met a wonderful human being, a rare animal in its state itself

At least.
