When night comes
And eyes finally close
The desire for dreams
Leaves the door wide open
For nightmares to come in
When night comes
And eyes finally close
The desire for dreams
Leaves the door wide open
For nightmares to come in
I asked her to dinner and she said no
I had no idea
Why she didn’t want to go with me
I mean isn’t this what you do?
Go grab a bite
Watch a movie or two
She said she was staying in
Didn’t feel too well
I respected her wishes and went to dinner alone
Enjoying the ambiance
Sharing jokes with the servers
Then enters her
On the arms of another
Beaming
I thought I must have been dreaming
I avoided eye contact
Got my dinner to go
Grabbed my coat
Tipped generously
Then headed home
I thought about what happened
It stung just a bit
I know that my endeavors
I’d have to quit
She always said I was a nice guy
Too nice at times
Told me that being mean must be a hard feat
I scoffed
A text came in from her
Saying “Maybe next week?”
Without a second thought
I just hit delete
