Begin with beer.
Talk loud over the noise.
Try the soup.
Talk about work.
Eat a burger.
Talk about family.
Have another beer.
Talk about the music.
Pass on dessert.
Get up and dance.
Let you rest your head on my shoulder.
Glance down to see you looking up at me.
Swallow hard.
Pass on coffee.
Walk you to your car.
Say I’ve had a good time.
Walk to my car.
Wish I’d had a good time.
Keep going through the motions.
Try to feel something since I’ve been on my own.
