in the ancient days,
wives would wait
for their husbands to return home
so they could eat a happy meal every day.

i may not be your wife
and you not my husband
but dinner was always the time
we'd sit together and act like one.

so i cook every night,
the dishes that you like,
hoping their aroma
will bring you back home
and back to my side;
i lay the plates,
pour the wine,
and wait for the door to open
so you can have the first bite;
but then the morning sun arrives,
and the dinner
is still laid on the table
just like it was last night.
