Forgetful

It was like she wanted
to show me how much
she cared for me
and how much
she wanted to be with me
so she decided to send me
a lock of her hair.
But after she cut
that single lock
she decided that
it wasn't enough
to show me how much
she really cared for me
and how much
she really wanted
to be with me
so she decided to cut off
all of her hair
and send it to me
because that would really
show me how very much
she cared for me
and how extremely much
she wanted to be with me.
But then she decided
that she couldn't
let me see her
with no hair
so she ran away for a year
to let her hair grow back
and in that time
she forgot about me.
