(Wrote this on request for a friend accross the pond)
Two people, sitting at the opposite sides of the table.
Time passes, they converse without exchanging words.
Trading ideas, making jokes, enjoying drinks.
When one or the other leaves the table for any reason, there needs to be no break in conversation.
Aimlessly drifting from topic to topic, only the utmost personal things go unmentioned.
When finally their time together is done, they both walk to the door.
Two friends exit two coffeeshops thousands of miles apart, smiling
Knowing even though there was no one at the table with them,
They hadn't been alone.


Criticism is welcome as always!
