Dinner For One

It takes two to forge a relationship,
But just one to end it quick.
That's why I'm sitting here alone,
Just wishing that you would come home.

I must tell you that it ain't fun,
Trying to sit through this dinner for one.
Trying to remember how happiness felt like,
Before you walked off alone into the night.

So opposite me stands this empty chair,
Where the shadow of you disappears into the air.
No more cheers, no clinking of our drinks,
No one to talk to about what I think.

There ain't no candlelight now,
Because you were the one who blew the candle out.
Nothing will ever taste as good without you to share it with,
And since you've been gone, there has been a lot of diff.

So I stare at the place you used to be,
Never thought that this is what I will see.
Please tell me why you aren't here,
Because I've lost the only voice I will hear.

So I down my drink which has no taste,
And let that dinner go to waste.
No more you, now its just me alone,
Leaving your heart where I once called home.

Please wait to be seated, I've waited long enough,
Since you're not here, I'm not doing so tough.
But if you bother to look, you will notice that,
I can't help but turn my head and look back.
