I have been watching them for years. They are so familiar to me, yet I know nothing about them. Not where they live, not even their names. Today I see them and I wonder what brought them to this point in their lives together. Two women, I assume a couple. One is tall and thin and the other, much shorter and average. Sometimes they wear matching clothing. I think it’s sweet. I wonder what they talk about as they walk. Maybe their plans for tomorrow? Maybe their dog? Maybe about the life they once lived together, as husband and wife?
