Why are you leaving a day early
on Thursday.
The break starts on Friday
not Thursday.
I was hoping to put on my best outfit,
do my makeup,
just to see you talk to her.
I'll turn my features into an indifferent mask
Look down and blink furiously
Listen to how you hate the color of my favorite sweater.
Because when I'm shifting my head up and right
looking at the ticking hands of the time machine
I'll always want to see you looking at me.
