Why cant I get you off my mind?
Is it cuz maybe you're thinking of me too?
Or is it just my wishful thinking?

But why are you on my mind instead of being by my side?
Sometimes these few miles seem like light years
And sometimes these hours feel like decades

But most of these memories are like bleeding a snake bite
So painful yet so relieving
Because I love thinking about you but I hate missing you

And every time I see you my eyes try and capture your image and infuse it in the back of my mind but I might as well be blind cuz I can't remember what just friends looks like

And sometimes I think of calling you but my heartbeat is as indecisive as my mind beating yes... no... yes... no ... yes.... no
And sometimes my heart has a mind of its own , even though that's something you already know

And every time your skin grazes mine my skin tingle
With false expectations and hopeless anticipation
But mostly its trying to entrap the warmth of your touch
But I might as well be numb because I can't remember what love feels like

At time I think of reaching out to touch you but my courage is just like the air in my lungs, sometimes it just escapes me

They say my mind wonders but I know where its going and that's to you

And most days I just want to hear you say my name
But every time I hear you my ears are trying to absorb your words
But I might as well be deaf because I don't know what honesty sounds like

And sometimes I try and talk to you but my tongue gets tangled like headphones in a pocket
And I can't get you off my mind
And I'm hoping its cuz you're thinking of me too

But my heart is like a home cuz when you're gone its never whole
But that's something you already know

And maybe one day I'll have the
sight to see you
The air to say I love you
The courage to hold you
And the blessing to hear you
But maybe its my wishful thinking

But I'm thinking of you
