Tiffany

sometimes I feel down
and I don't know how to express it
so I close myself off
maybe get snappy at people
but one time at work
a lovely new girl smiled at me
told me I was a nice guy
bought me a donut from the deli

wasn't sure what to make of it
the gesture made me happy
it was unexpected
like is it weird to feel like that?
it was so simple of a thing
yet it made me smile
no one ever says such kind words
or does such nice gestures
at least for me

I hoped to see her again
asked about her to co-workers
they told me she was submitted into rehab
guess she had problems
but I didn't think much of it
we all struggle
I just wished once she got out
that I would get to talk to her again
maybe buy her something sweet
see if it would make her day like it did me

yesterday was a day I didn't expect
someone told me a co-worker died
then they said the name
first thing people thought was drug overdose
that wasn't my thought at all
mine was what the fuck!
how can that be?
guess it was a car crash

I did say thank you
when she handed me that treat
but I wish I would of told her
told her what a shitty day I was having
wish I would have sat longer with her
told her how she brighten my day
rest in peace Tiffany
thank you for showing me such kindness
