to forget all about him,
what does it take to extract
someone from the mind?

painfully she waits,
she realizes that for the past 12 hours,
not a single thought of him crossed her mind.

but now she waits,
and he is back on her mind again,
it feels like it is back to square one.

so she waits,
because 12 hours without him,
meant the tomorrow would be 13 hours without him.

when she waits,
eventually 24 hours without him,
leads to many more hours and days without him.

n.y.
