Red Wine and Regrets

I brought a bottle of wine
Partly a joke, a nod to my new improved "of age" status.
Partly a memory, you and I and warm Merlot feelings were romantic even as we indulged in our nightly run of "Blind Date".
But the bottle remained untouched.
It was a sprint to the finish to make these memories last, the weekend had a doomed feel that I tried to erase with hard concrete kisses.
You took the bottle with you, "for our next visit"
even as you knew this would be the last...
