Missed

"Meet tonight." You paused and said,
"Alright." I wore my best, the only suit,
A ring inside my trembling truth.
I'm sorry for the mismeeting,
For love I never said out loud.
You waited there beneath the lamplight while I was lost inside the crowd.
I'm sorry for the mismeeting,
The one chance fate turned down.
Red lights bled into the night.
