My Favourite Meal

25/05/2020 - Iso Well-Being Compilation

 

This isn’t my favourite food.

It’s not even in my top ten.

But every year I eat it

Because it makes me think of you.

 

We came here so long ago

On our perfect second date

After the first one was disastrous

And you begged for another chance.

 

We ate and talked and laughed and drank

And wiled away the hours.

Before we knew any time had passed

We were being ushered out the door.

 

The years, they were good to us,

With many a happy time.

That’s not to say there weren’t tears

And angry words besides.

 

But this year, I ate alone

At a table meant for two.

The waiter didn’t clear your place

But put a rose across your plate instead.

 

The owner has waived the bill

In honour of our love

And asked if I’ll be back next year,

But all I could do was cry.
