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
