pretty little girl with the pink lippy.

i wonder if she'll be catching my bus tmorra?
if she'll give me a smile,
it's so nice to have a young female smile at you when you're an old codger like me.

i wonder if we'll ever speak.

i think that a lot of the time strangers just speak cos not-speaking makes them nervous.

i don't mind not speaking,
but hey!
whatever.

just say 'hi'...i say hi to everyone, me...and almost everyone says hi back

well thats not strictly true!...most people say 'goedemorgen/middag/avond' or 'hoi' or 'dag' or 'hallo' etc. back

she was at my stop.
sort of half smiled,
nervously.

she needn't worry.
she's quite safe.
