On the twenty-third day, I put on my dress.

"I don't get the big deal about all this. You'll get over him soon,"

Lisa said, watching as I slipped the dress of my head.

"Don't tell me you'll get over it soon 

because it's not now.

It's not one day from now, one week from now.

My mind isn't made out of a clock.

I can't fast forward my emotions.

I'm not a surgeon. 

I can't break my head in half

and remove my emotions.

Soon could be a long time.

Never, even.

But what matters is now,

and there's a massacre of

emotions in my heart and mind."

Lisa shakes her head at me, heading towards the door.

"What poet are you quoting now?"
