The Dinner Table

(Completed November 29, 2017)

I sit here at our table tonight. An empty seat and bowl across from me. I wanted to do something special by letting you know I would have dinner ready for us. That way we can spend some much needed time together. Which I know I haven't given us because of the project at work.

You were suppose to be here at 7. Looking at the clock, its quarter past 8. I fear that my efforts are too late. It won't be nearly sufficient. You've decided to go out to dinner with him instead. Seems like I can no longer give you what you want anymore. My love isn't enough of a reason to make you stay.
