the wind was rough, a sort of slapping in my face, reminding me that even if it was a new year, i was still the same. i just hid my face down in my scarf, glad someone bothered to give me something useful.
the coffee shop was nearly empty, except for a few people. the owner, a sort of mysterious shaggy looking guy with those eyes saying ,"ask me and i want to tell you everything i know." then there was a guy and girl, obviously together. i didnt want to stare, people in all black tend to frighten me.
walkin to the counter, i asked for my usual, and my eyes gazed over to a small bible. "ahh," i heard from behind the counter, "a book i've learned to trust with all my heart." sure, i attended my church now and then but with all the things i had going on, god would surely forgive me if i skipped now and then.
"dont go often?" how could he read me?
"well, its busy, ya kno." a little pissed, cuz now all i wanted was my coffee. i didnt need harassment
"do you believe in god?" he asked.
"i guess, but i wonder sometimes." i replied giving in, knowing i couldnt just leave."why should i believe in something i cant even see?"
"you believe in love dont you?"
"of course" i said wonderin where this was goin.
"you cant see love now can you? god watches over us everyday, but love, love guides us. without love, where would we be? love and be loved, love wat u can't see, love what you hate, thats all god wants. a little love. $3.50 please."
a little shocked i handed him 5 and simply walked out. love guides us? well yea, i guess it does. love makes you do crazy things, and god guides you through them..
no idea where i wanted to go with that, just writing
