Ignorance and Bliss
by Liz Adnitt

You weren't there.
You didn't notice when I scrawled your name
Across the front of my notebook,
Then emblazened it with hearts.
You weren't there when I looked to you for support,
But you gave it none-the-less.
You weren't aware that I thought about you constantly,
And dreamed of you every night.
You were only there once, and when you were,
You were even more wonderful.
Then you forgot about me.
So when I think:
'I wonder what he's doing now,
He could be at work,
He could be breaking for lunch,
He could be playing with his kids,
He could be whispering sweet nothings to his wife,'

There is only one thing I can be sure of.
You're not sitting there thinking:
'I wonder what she's doing now'.
You're not thinking of me.
