A snapshot of Lavender's mind as I walked up to her

Nsisong Effiong17 January 2016
Lavender. My dear child, Some things in life are certain. The sun for instance, will always rise in the east. Some days it will yawn and stretch Some days it will bounce and bristle But rise it must.
Lavender. Boys will lie to you, Break your heart Crush your spirit (if you let them) So smile with your lips (if you must) Never let it reach your heart
Twenty something years later, She smiled at me, I bought her a drink She wouldn't tell me her name.
