It didn't take long before the words turned to arguing. She simply stated her point matter of factly, he retorted. The tension grew. Back and forth tearing into each other, taking the words of a friend and using it against each other. She was right, she thought, He was wrong. She was wrong, he was sure of it. Tempers flaring, refusing to listen. It sounded ridiculous. She was speaking frantically now, and he was raising his voice echoing the same line, too frantic to listen to loud to hear. Two different voices saying the same thing in their own way, neither listening to realize it was the same thought. Each trying to get in the last word all talking at once in a hurried way, so much like us...Only at the point when they were speaking so fast they spoke in unison did they realize they were saying the same thing. The piano piped in with an "I-told-you-so" comment and they glared together with their tongues out in spite.
