Thursday

By

Nathan Caleb Camerer

The last date

Just another failed attempt

Just another on a long list

This is getting old

Relationship after relationship

I’m a failure

What’s wrong with me?

Am I undateable?

Time for a break

I need a drink

I need some football in my life

I need my friends

A lonely heart at the bar

The right question is asked

A conversation starts

Shouting at each other

Fighting to be heard

All the right things are being said

Cautious

The events of the day still very fresh

Not ready for another relationship

The band stops playing

The bar gets quiet

The conversation won’t stop

I don’t want it to

Trying to imagine what you look like in the morning

Alarms are going off

Interest is increasing

The bar closes

Breakfast at 2:00 AM

Tread softly

On dangerous ground

I’ve seen this a dozen times in my head

And I’ve been thinking about this moment

For the past 6 hours

I’ve lost the war

I’m giving in

The reality of the moment

Is so much better than I imagined

Sunrise

The beer goggles have worn off

Still just as beautiful as the night before

Effortless beauty

The last nail in the coffin

I’m yours now

Hoping this one is different
