You cross my mind once every five minutes. That means I think about you at least 12 times every hour. 288 times a day. 2016 times a week. I could tell you how the glowing moon reminds me of the light in your eyes that shine every time you speak. I could tell you how the vast ocean reminds me of your adventurous soul and how I want to discover every single part of you. I could tell you how the song playing on the radio reminds me of the time you sang to me out of tune but it was true music to my ears. I could tell you how the bitter cucumbers I had in my sandwich remind me of the nasty things you said to me before you didn’t say anything at all. I could tell you how much I miss you, but I don’t. because I simply could not.
