Description
I think of him when
His friends send
Me emails saying they
Haven't heard from him in
A while

I think of him when
My locket
Catches the light,
Whenever anyone asks
Who's in it, and I clutch
It and say
"No one"

I think of him
When I'm drunk out
Of my mind, chugging
Energy drinks because
I've just started an
Essay that's due in
Two hours

(I know I think
Of him then, because instead
Of writing about Odysseus,
I type a letter to
Him that I know
I'll never send)

I think of him
When the rain comes
And the campus
Is deserted- it taps
On my window
Instead of the cloth
Of that tent

I close my eyes and
Think of him
Opening the flap
And saying
"It's cold"

I open my eyes
And still see him, even
Though I know he's
Not there

I think of him
When I get catcalls
And numbers and notes left
On my bedside table
And free drinks slide
Down the booth with
A wink
But he doesn't write,
He doesn't call.
I don't think he misses me
At all.
I can't stop missing him,
Even though I've
Tried.
