I always thought I would die before my time,
I always thought that I'd never fall in love with anyone else,
I always thought my friendships would last forever,
I always thought...
that was the problem,
I thought,
thinking is a gift and a fatal flaw,
thinking destroyed my love life,
but I passed freshman year because I thought,
I always thought that I always needed to think,
until something changed,
after the change,
my thoughts became irrelevant,
instincts became primal,
and all feelings were lost,
thinking brings emotions,
and emptiness,
thinking brings happy memories,
and devastating ones,
thinking brought you into my life
and it took you away,
I always thought that we'd be forever,
I always thought of you,
Thinking is the reason I lost you,
