Our eyes met...

I walked on by...
I stopped, he looked a decent man.

As I put money in his cardboard box I touched his bearded cheek.
'Spend it wisely!' I said...

What right had I to say that, I thought as I walked away?

Did he think 'Daft tart!'
You know something I don't care.
At the end of the day I would rather 
he thought that
