I may decide to add more to the end at some point. Not sure if it leaves too much unsaid.
Found a bad rhyme so made a small change after the skirmish.
Anyone have time for a collab? :)
Thanks @andygriff for a fun prompt!
The best Kind of Medicine
I was a lovesick mess
Crying in my coffee all day long
Broken and in pieces
I didn’t have it in me to move along
I binged my heart on ROMCOMs
Hoped they would lift the pain
Gorged myself on chocolate
But the torment inside remained
PC
Out of luck
And full of misery
I headed to the pharmacy
Chorus
There in aisle three
Between the chocolate and coffee
The eyes of a beautiful stranger
Smiling at me
The best kind of medicine
Yeah, the best kind of medicine
You can buy at a pharmacy
My heart fluttered and came to life
Is he my saving grace
Said would you like to grab a drink
I know the perfect place
Chorus
There in aisle three
Between the chocolate and coffee
The eye of a beautiful stranger
Smiling at me
The best kind of medicine
Yeah, the best kind of medicine
You can buy at a pharmacy

Very true that a smile, a kind word, an invitation to coffee or chat, or just in general knowing that someone cares is sometimes the very best medicine. Very nice. Thank you
