Table For One Please

The steak is cooked to perfection.

The cosmopolitan delightful and giving me a buzz.

The man with his guitar crooning James Taylor is soothing.

Happy people around me, smiling and laughing with friends and lovers.

It's cozy here, in the corner, as I watch the cold rain pelt the window.

It sounds perfect, doesn't it?

So, then...what the hell's the problem?

An empty heart, a lonely night and as always...a table for one.

We all find ourselves in the position, one time or another.
An awkward, bittersweet rite of passage on the way to finding companionship, or true love.
Here is a humorous anecdote you might identify with, and give you a renewed perspective.

From American sitcom 'Frasier'

@LadyBronte I understand. Been there more times than I can count. It's lonely, empty.

Well for what it's worth, were I there tonight and saw you alone, I'd ask you to join me.🌹
