A Good Night

It was a good night after all,
A good night with my friend who is dating,
Who has a boyfriend,
Even if they have not explicitly stated it yet.

This is the friend who was single for so long,
Who had given up,
But who has most potentially found
The One for her.

I'm glad we could have a good night together,
Just the two of us,
At one of our favorite places,
And he didn't mind, and she made plans regardless of if he did or didn't,
For she did not tell him until today,
When he unexpectedly, for no reasons,
Brought flowers to her
At her place, late afternoon, for no reason, just because.

Her walls are melting, I can see.
He is wooing her, so specially.
I like him so far, he is very sweet,
And she is finally reciprocating.

He is similar to me, even as to my age,
He is calm and sweet, and very laid back
And patient yet planning,
And compliments her well.

Like I said, I cannot be against her,
I am very much for her,
I love her to death,
Even as I am letting her go.

But it was a good night -
One I never expected.
As she initially said she only wanted dinner,
Then desert sounded appealing and on her bequest
We each had one more glass of wine
(Though I finished hers, as she only wanted half.)

We told each other that you needed to eat more,
As we both battle with certain similar demons,
And we caught up in all we worldly could,
And ventured into other things as well.

It was a nice, good night.
I hope she sleeps well.
I hope we have these again.
But Lord, please don't let me expect these in vain.
