How did we let it get to this point. Shake my hand no one did.
I walked through the city with my head held high and my heart laid bare.
She can see me coming. She gave me the bombastic sideeye.

When she took my hand in hers, it was over, finally. Here you go. This one's for you.
You took the courage to shake the hand of a stranger. Now a gift rests in yours.
You have no idea how hard it was, or did you?

I used the EggTimer Countdown
