"I Tried."

Mar 10, 2011 17:31

It poured all day today. Not just a little, but a lot. With the fiercest wind I've seen in a while.
So when Dwayne got up this morning, the world was already against him.
So you would think.

He went to the store and asked for tulips. They gave him carnations.
He went to the liquor store and asked for Coors. They gave him Miller Lite.
So his truck driver side window leaked, and the bridge surface was coated, but he drove on through and made it to my house, soaking wet. 
And as he brought the flowers out into the wind and rain, they were whipped and pounded and so abused...

He brought the stems to my door and mumbled, "These were supposed to cheer you up. I tried."

And I will never forget that someone tried to make me feel better. :)

fun, best friend, story
