I saw you
By email to Dan from David Lee
I saw you, hug your purse closer to you in the grocery store
> line. But, you didn't see me, put an extra $10.00 in the
> collection plate last Sunday.
>
> I saw you, pull your child closer when we passed each other on
> the sidewalk. But, you didn't see me, playing Santa at the
> local mall.
>
> I saw you, change your mind about going into the restaurant.
>
> But, you didn't see me, attending a meeting to raise more money
> for the hurricane relief.
>
> I saw you, roll up your window and shake your head when I
> drove by.
>
> But, you didn't see me, driving behind you when you flicked
> your cigarette butt out the car window.
>
> I saw you, frown at me when I smiled at your children.
>
> But, you didn't see me, when I took time off from work to run

> I saw you, stare at my long hair. But, you didn't see me, and
> my friends cut ten inches off for Locks of Love.
>
> I saw you, roll your eyes at our leather coats and gloves.

>
> I saw you, change lanes while rushing off to go somewhere.
>
> But, you didn't see me, going home to be with my family.
>

>
> But, you didn't see me, pat my child's hands, knowing he was

>
> But, you didn't see me, get soaked to the skin so my son
> could have the car to go on his date.
>
> I saw you, run the yellow light just to save a few minutes
> of time.
>
> But, you didn't see me, trying to turn right.

> but, you didn't see me.
>
> Repost this around in hopes that people will understand the
> biker community.
>
