snuff out and walk away

i saw a girl lighting up today, the first time in her life
scrambling out of the bus heading for the quiet spot
shoved out a cigarette from the tight package, hands full of jitter
between her delicate fingers she placed the white stick
striking a light twice to make sure it lit
Pursing her lips she inhaled gently, careful not to choke
First huff of white smoke out her mouth
a stream of mint down her throat
Let's try it again, its quite fun watching smoke come out
Second huff, she observed deliriously
a bitter taste forms on the tongue
Standing behind the bus-stop panels, she took
a third, a fourth, a fifth puff as the mint and bitterness piled
Nothing excitable, she thought
and she snuffed out the cigarette and walked away

hi jules (or am i allowed to call u that? =p)

haven't seen yr blog for a few months, but seems u've been having some thoughts about smoking or whatnot? to say i'm shocked is a bit of an understatement. n i'm very sure ray won't like it much either.

btw hope everythings alright b/n u guys, thought i saw a little tension on sunday morn b4 e gig but of cos i'm prob wrong. anyway its norm for couples to argue occasionally, as long as in the end you work things out.

u guys r one of the couples that sf members look up to. honestly some pple told me before u guys jus look so good together. i keep forgetting that u guys r still youths until ray makes some weird sounds n u laugh until u look like u're gasping for air! hehz.

i dunno if ray has a blog, prob doesn't have time for one, so too bad u get to receive such crappy comments from me, hehz.. spend more time together. at least once a week, devote a few hours to do something, don't let busy schedules impose on yr relationship. i really want to see u guys go strong all the way to the pulpit n say yr vows. =)
