It's 6:27 on a Thursday morning 
I woke up with a knife in my stomach and I'm missing you

It's 7:39 on a Thursday morning 
I pull over on the way to school because I'm crying too much
and I'm missing you

It's 8:52 on a Thursday morning
I ask to to be excused 
How am I supposed to think about 
Which constitution was written in 1870 
When all I can think about is the way your lips felt on mine the last time
and I'm missing you

It's 10:12 on a Thursday morning
I'm killing myself slowly because I keep checking my phone for a text from you
I know it will never come because I'm the one who messed up so now I'm broken
and I'm missing you

It's 10:50 on a Thursday morning
He sits across from me in this class
He tries asking how I'm doing
I tell him he has to leave me alone because all I can think about is what I've done
and I'm missing you 

It's 12:15 on a Thursday afternoon
My best friend takes me to lunch 
She holds me while I cry
Through my sobs I hear her say something about her talking to you 
She tells you how I'm broken 
and I'm missing you 

It's 3:36 on a Thursday afternoon
I feel like a zombie. Lifeless. 
I am empty
and I'm missing you

It's 7:58 on a Thursday evening
My friends try cheering me up
They make me dinner and get me to stop crying but since everything reminds me of you, I'm thinking about our first date and the way you made me laugh over a meal
I’m thinking about the way you made my eyes light up while I spoke 
and I'm missing you 

It's 11:56 on a Thursday night
I cant fall asleep because I'm staring at all the pictures of us in my phone
You've infected me
and I'm missing you
