So many people around me
I'm all alone in this crowded space
The tables and chairs even shy away from me as if I were plagued
But I know the truth and I know that I'm not diseased
I am brilliant, a fire that cannot be stopped
When I notice another person alone and think
"Wow I am not the only one"
The person they are waiting for makes an appearance and the lonely face breaks into a smile
The person I'm waiting for lives in a small house on his family's new land an hour and a half north of me
So I think it might be awhile
Before he comes to dinner
