We have a single nightstand It is a good, solid nightstand It has a lamp that gives just enough light And the surface holds just enough things We talk about having another nightstand You know, so maybe we can expand He agrees that, yes, maybe it'd be good to have another nightstand We part thinking having a second nightstand is the plan It'd be brighter And there would be space to unpack more things A single nightstand is good But not enough for two people, it is unequal in the service it brings I wait to hear his thoughts for the second nightstand And I keep waiting, starting to question his intent; But no, he knows. And besides, he said he wanted the second nightstand And there was no reason to lie about how he felt I think of reminding him about the second nightstand You know, the one that would give us just enough room to expand But turns out that wasn't actually his plan And all he wanted was the one night stand.
