I try and occupy myself,

By searching for a good read,

I don't have anything in mind.

I never really do.

Because it's not what I come here for, anymore.

I don't have to.

I don't need to.

But I do.

For him, I do.

Just to watch him as he works,

Just to look into those beautiful eyes again,

The ones I dream about every night.

No.

I can't think about him.

I should leave.

I should go away.

Go away and never come back.

I can't keep torturing myself like this,

I don't need this.

It only adds to the pain.

It only makes me feel weaker.

And I can't,

I think as I run my hand absent-mindedly,

Across the leather covers on the shelf,

I can't.

I've had enough of this.

Why do I keep coming back here?

I can't do this anymore, I muse.

"You can't do what anymore?"
