Missed Lunch

A brief reply to a question she asked about the lunch she missed

We were to meet at a local pizza place for a quick bite. Nothing fancy obviously, but I had been looking forward to it. She had told me earlier that she had taken the day off and there would be no problem with getting together.

I called her at 11:30 and said that I was heading to the restaraunt and would meet her there and then she told me how she was no longer hungry since she had had a bowl of soup and I would see her later.

1:00 came and she called me to ask how my lunch was.

I told her it was fine and I would call her later.

Truth be told,.......

Lunch was a sad and solitary experience soured by the salt of my tears
