You sat alone,
so confident, so true.
You sat alone
at the table for two.
Did you picture her with you?
Did you smile through truth?
Before you sat alone
at the table for two.
Did you frequent the shops,
laughing, comparing what was bought?
Before you sat alone
at the table for two.
A bottle of wine
became a glass just for one.
As you sat alone
at a table for two.
You drank only coffee
no dinner or food,
just you with yourself
at the table for two.
Sad and beautiful.
