When she smiles and wraps her arms around your waist

Do not take it for any more than it is

When she lets subtle hints drop
like atomic bombs in the empty cavity of your desperateness

Do not panic

They are only duds; in a few months their marks will barely be dents

When she turns cold and ignores you for nearly a week

Lay out in the sun

Let the ice melt so her ice won’t freeze you as well

When she smiles and it feels like the light behind her eyes exist for only you

Do not give up your happiness to her

When you think she will finally end your waiting

Sit back down

Your number has not been called yet

When the high tides of hope start to drown your reason
When the pain of being alone becomes overwhelming and you’re grasping for relief
When you start to believe that she is the one you’ve been searching for


Stop

Take a deep breath

Open your eyes

And forget her


She has already forgotten you.
