Are You Here Today?

I tried to sneak in a look
A little roaming of the eyes
From one corner to the next nook
I didn't see your face

Could you just be inside?
I stepped in and took a seat
Couch, I don't frequent
Ordered a pasta soup — a first

I'm still hungry
The soup was fancy
But not for me
Will you show up with coffee?

Surprise me
No, I'm not pleading
Just wishfully thinking
You're definitely not coming
