You find some couples talking romantically and your mind goes to your girlfriend who is not on talking terms with you. You then think of ways of getting her to talk to you again. The waterfall, scenery is now a thing of the past as you are now busy making plans to get her back. In all this, time has gone by and suddenly you snap out of it to find yourself rushing out of the main door with a half-eaten sandwich dangling dangerously from your already full mouth that can hold no more food.
