Missing the Party
The party is starting
But you just can’t make it.
Your reasons are real -
You’re not one to fake it.
You picture the people,
The drinks and the food.
There’s laughter and everyone’s
In a great mood.
But you aren’t there
Though you thought that you would be;
And you hope they know
You’d be there if you could be.
Sometimes things work out.
Other times they do not;
And what can you do?
Not a hell of a lot.
So you sit and imagine
The fun and you mope.
Other parties will come –
At least, that’s what you hope.
