He said he would be awhile.
I never know what that means exactly.
Should I expect him in an hour,
two hours,
a day, a week,
a month?
What is the time measurement of awhile?
I wanted to tell her
she would feel better soon –
it would just take awhile.
I didn’t tell her that. It sounded wrong to me.
What would I answer when she asks
how long is awhile?
When you are in emotional pain
and distress – seconds become days.
Awhile doesn’t help.
