A Date

Too soon, too late
  a sip of wine as evening awaits
  followed by dinner at eight
  you wanted more than what was on your plate
  foolish heart you knew I'd hesitate
  while clinging to my arm at the gate
I kissed your forehead your ego to deflate
  sorry love, I never took the bait
  no need for any long debate,
  must I  translate
  to help you graduate,
it was just a date.
