It was cold, I was told He was a dick I already knew, Though I was going by toeing He was cruel I was sure But he was one of my best friends. We were heading into the dark Like sitting on a cold iron tank. A gutter dumps us leaving the scars Alone on the way in the midnight, Where there no bikes and cars. We headed to his girlfriend's house Like two dark shadows walking slowly like mouse He whistled near the gate when the colony was asleep On the 1st floor Dim light coming from a window dear Quickly flung opened, He looked at me when a waiter gates amount in token. She threw a rope and descend I saw her in front of us, she handed him cash Who was every time on her depend? While returning hungry stomach made me ask I am hungry, can we have some snacks He tapped on my back and said let's go jack We came back to our home Too late at 4 am
