How long has it been? A month, six weeks, longer than that? For the record, let me tell you, It has not felt half that time, And yet... it has been years and more. Generically, distance makes the heart grow fonder, Which is true enough for me, though, In that retched state, it leaves me Also very prone to look and wander. If my brain were a tree, You would be its mistletoe; Making me think of you often and always, and, Despite my best efforts, I have been unable to make you budge. I might consider you a disease on my mind (But as of this moment in time), I couldn't care less when you jump into my thoughts For it always brings memories of: Your happy face, Your smiling voice, Kisses in the dark.

A Lovely Parasite Growing On My Mind
