I'm sorry for saying how much you must miss your ex-boyfriend

I’m normally good at these sensitive things.
Once I saw a girl crying on the street
it was eleven am and I said are you okay and she said no
and I said well I’ve got lots of stuff to do in town you want to help me?
And she said sure and I gestured for her to link my arm
and didn’t mean for her to actually do it
and she waited patiently at the post office
as I weighed my parcel to my friend in Australia
And on our way to buy leeks I explained I was worried I was too late
and she said she always missed birthdays too.
It was only in the pub when we stopped off for a coffee
there was a poster on the wall for a quiz night
and she said how much her mum used to love quizzes
and she was crying again
but I said ‘Look’ and gave her some advice
I can’t remember what I said but it must have been helpful because
She asked for my address and she still writes to me sometimes.
I’m sorry for mentioning how much you must miss your ex-boyfriend.
I’m normally much better at these sensitive things.
