Time didn’t matter
His pride wouldn’t heal
What he felt for her
Didn’t go past
Physical appeal
He said to his friends
Using
Company as a drug
To mask how he feels
He had this old fling
On speed
Dial
Young thing
Who was willing
To tell him he was in denial
But she liked the chemistry
The ‘physic-
Ality’
They shared
And he liked her honesty
She knew what she wanted
She made it very clear
That he wasn’t there
And the where that he was
She couldn’t care
Less
Yet she let him know
That to the love of his life
It wasn’t fair
He hadn’t talked to her
In over a year
Because the truth
Was too hard to bear
To hear
Later tonight
The truth would be here
His mind forcibly caught up
In what she would wear
Time didn’t matter
His pride wouldn’t heal
He told himself that
That was how he feels
The rest of it was a fantasy
It was only a part of his ego
A dream
Surreal
Numb
Deaf, blind and mute
He let his mind drift
Back to being lost in the truth
