I sit alone this morning
Corner diner table for one
I check in up at the front
As the waitress leads me to my seat
I sit down as she turns to say
Honey what can I get for you today
Nothing much just a coffee to start
I realize I haven't been in here
Since she broke my heart

I stare now as the steam flows up
From the coffee cup sitting on my left
I watch it
twirl and whirl and spiral
Just like all the thoughts in my head
Since we've
Traveled all the way
Around the sun
Since everything's been said and done
365 days since all the fights
And a divorce
And a loaded up hatchback pulled me
Out of that small town

I look around this old diner now
The wall reads good food good friends good times
My eye catches two young kids
About as old as we were
Back when we used to come here and dine
My friends said I'd be seeing ghosts of us
Everywhere that I go
Of the memories we shared
And the times when we still cared
Truth is that I see so many this morning
I hear our laughter coming out from the corner booth
Where we burnt all the morning hours
Watching all the patrons come and go
When we didn't give a f*ck
Just how those hours were spent

The waitress now she brings me my food
I hear her singing quietly along
To the Perfect Ed Sheeran song
That jukebox has on
Contrary to it's name in this moment
It don't feel perfect at all
When actually to be transparent
To say the truth
Its killing me

With a flip of a switch
I'm taken right back
From the present moment
And into my past
Where we sat under that retrospective
Summer August sky
Laughing we were so in love
Listening to the music
In the town center
I thought that it'd be forever
It would be us against the world
That there was
Nothing that could ever stop us
From being that forever and always
That we always talked about

I finish the last of my food
Swallowing the last sip of my coffee and pride
It's humbling now I must admit
Being back here on the inside
Of this diner
And all of my
Repressed emotions as well

This month has been so haunting
With all of these ghosts from the past
Reappearing ever so fast
Staring me back right in the face

I hope you're doing well and I hope
That you're even happier now
I really wish that I could have been
The person you tried to make me be
Because had that been the case
Maybe then I could have enjoyed
This simple little breakfast meal
With you sharing this booth with me
Maybe then you could be
Staring right back at me
