Lunch
We’d known each other,
For years.
Lunch together,
At the same table,
Always with others.
End of the school year,
Her year was over,
Two days before mine.
Thursday.
A private message.
On Facebook.
“Lunch?”
That’s all.
Just one word.
“Lunch?”
I responded,
“Place?”
(Just that,
One word.)
Thinking;
The coffee shop,
Down the block;
It was a favorite,
Of hers.
Her answer came back.
Again,
Just one word.
“Mine.”
