He had worked all week
Just wanted to have a dinner and sleep
But she was tired from her work too
And wanted to go someplace together
She thought of it as proof
That they were a couple
The time spent was real
She wanted to feel that it was ongoing
There was hope
No doubts
He shrugged his shoulders
Said ok let's go
He bought steak
A couple drinks
And pie
She barely ordered anything
She'd stare in his eyes
Listened as he talked about his week
He ate his food quietly
Wondering if she wasn't hungry
Why she wanted to go out
