young love 

from 'These Fair Days'




The Hard Truth

 

I reckon Colt and Tina 

would have gotten married 

if they hadn’t had that blow-up 

 

and then they would have had the blow-up 

after they got married 

so I reckon it worked out. 

 

The thing is for the longest time 

all they had was each other 

on account of their respective home lives 

 

weren’t the bastions of love and support 

like they should have been. 

In any case 

 

Colt hit the jackpot with Laura 

and Tina ain’t hit nothin’.

A matter-of-fact telling of a story that's both happy and sad. Nicely done.
