good people

They must have been together forever
this eccentric, mad.scientist.haired couple.

They had adopted the island – and all its cats and dogs and donkeys.
They adopted us too. (Me and My Lovely One).
And they shared it all with us.

Then, at the end of the day. As the sun sank and we drank.
She spoke about him, this man, her love. She spoke of his huge heart, his generosity, his selflessness. Her tears spilt. And she turned to him.

And he shrugged: good people attract good people he said (simply). Squeezing her hand and including us in his gentle gaze.
