Dining alone

He made me dinner tonight. I'm not sure what his name is. He didn't remember my name, although I've told him already twice before. I thought he would remember, my name is pretty unique.

It was dark and drizzling out, perfect for my mood. I tried not to project, but some people can't tell either way. It was noisy there, and too bright.

I ordered the same thing I did the last two times. He didn't remember.

It is sort of a defeat, really. It got late, I had no food, I didn't want to starve. There is no food waiting for me on the table. I walk these streets alone, and no one knows if I go hungry.

I drag my feet there and back. I do what I have to. To get by.

The sandwich has cooled. It tastes sad. And lonely.

I light a candle to set the mood.

Dinner for one tonight.

  2. I often enjoy dining alone; sometimes that's the little time I have during my day to really collect and appreciate my own thoughts.

  4. I don't usually think while I eat dinner. I'm usually catching up on shows on my laptop.

THINK before you utter your thoughts.
