A Little Bit Off Course

I feel so embarrassed admitting this, but I couldn't keep up with my end of things today. My Darling was supposed to call me at noon and tell me what he wanted for dinner, it's a small task, really. But something about the day distracted me. Maybe work or just plain old laziness got in the way. So when we talked later, I couldn't face telling him the truth. Instead, I fibbed and made up an excuse. It’s not like that ever ends well for anyone, though. Now here it is after midnight, and I’m still feeling guilty about it all. Maybe tomorrow will be better, but tonight I just feel lost in my own little world of shame.
