Do You Still Like Us?

2 little girls depart their familiar pirate ship, a wink and a nod is all that is passed as the moment hangs heavy with accomplishment and sincerity. Jessie, that marvelous, fresh Captain, stands proud upon her deck. “You were beyond something else...you were really something out there.” ‘thank you Captain’ ‘we love you Captain’ 2 little girls stand still and watch as their old ship dips beyond horizon and fading sunset, they boldly whisper past the salty, stingy air: ‘we see you’ ‘always’ 2 little girls, confident and brave, cry. For the end of things, for the end of the wonder, for the end. ... 2 brave, confident little girls, wipe their tears away, smile to one another and begin their journey back home.
