ONE DAY DOWN

She convinces herself

That she needs a month to get over you

To accept you as a friend and nothing else

As she turns away to take a break

She puts on her headphones and plays the same song on repeat

Stares into the bright, shining lights of the city

It’s a cloudy night, she can’t see the stars

The night looks darker as the reality of what she said trickles into her

Thirty slow days without you

Does she need to do this? Will she actually feel different after these days?

Its just been a day

And she can already feel the lie

She’s not getting over you

She’s just strengthening what she already feels

Is this logical? Nah

She can't explain why she’s drawn to you

She just is

She keeps choosing you again

And maybe sometimes,

That is the most important reason to keep things together.
