Coincidence

The lights went off as she sat by the balcony. He went close to her. She didn't flinch. The moonlight was on her face. He was in the shadow.

"Can you see those fireflies" she asked him, his shadow nodded.
"Can u hear the river" he inquired, she ignored.

He lit up a cigarette. She saw a shooting star. He heard a distant grey owl. She heard his stomach grumble.

"Why were we born ?" she smiled. His face was stern.
"because we could stare at the stars' he replied. She wasn't convinced besides there were no stars.
"Coincidence ?? " she postulated.
"Coincidence !!" he mumbled.

The lights came back. She didn't flinch. He could see the fireflies now.
"lets eat something" she said.
'Finally" he smiled.
