It's been ten minutes since

a thought of this

has made its way and left its mark on me

and in ten minutes more

the same thing will

start happening and frame this novelty

and when this cycle ends

I'll start again

and bring about the possibility

the thought of looking for

and finding more

has never been as hard as this for me



I found a picture of the two of us

and seeming like it was a week ago

I thought of everything

it should have been

and nothing was as far as I would go



and when the cycle did come to an end

I thought about the possibility

the thought of looking for

and finding more

has always been the hardest thing for me



I'll wait a thousand ten minutes

since when has it ever been different

I'll spend a lifetime of learning

since when did I remember anything at all



where did I leave her name and her number

where does she work she told me before

why do I find it hard to remember

now why do I find it hard to ignore

how do I know when this will be over

another ten minutes went by
