The Influential Second Hand of Infatuation


fifteen seconds ago
I fell in love with you
nine seconds ago
I no longer remembered you

four seconds ago
I felt sorry, and
empty
about something.

Well, knowing the way you write I believe that this isn't what it seems on the surface...
I would hate to write my initial thoughts but I will say that I feel that it has to do with memory and ageing...
I loved it as I do all your work.
Lisasview, finally back to reviewing and writing.

You are most welcome Jacob
WOW! Powerful and to the point.
It hurts to fall out of love and the hurt lingers on.

Wow. For its short nature this one speaks a lot to what infatuation can be. ~Jim
