every morning

she looks in the mirror

at her naked face

then in an hour

it's completely made up

and she smiles at her reflection

"maybe this time he'll notice me"

so every day

she goes out

in hope of seeing him again

loitering around the station

sitting at the cafe on the corner

pretending to wait for the next bus

but really she was waiting

for that special someone

hour after hour

day after day

always a complete waste of time

because she never

ever

even catches a glimpse of him

and he

he doesn't even know

she exists.
