There are so many reasons why you’re on my mind…
—
I’m thinking about you because…
…Sometimes we keep secrets from the people we love
…Sometimes I have a hard time saying the things I want to say
…Sometimes I feel like words aren’t adequate
…Sometimes all we can do is think
…Sometimes thinking is safer than anything else
…Sometimes we wait for something but it never comes
…Sometimes I feel so close and sometimes I feel so far away
◊♦◊
I’m thinking about you because…
…We are not as close as I want to be
…I want to make you proud
…I want to be more like you
…I want everything to be okay but I have no idea what ‘okay’ really means
◊♦◊
I’m thinking about you because…
…I feel like everything is in slow motion
…I don’t know what I‘m going to do without you
…I’m tired of thinking about things that make me unhappy
…I know you’ve been through a lot
◊♦◊
I’m thinking about you because…
…So many things feel like they’re slipping away and there’s nothing I can do to stop it
…So many things don’t make sense
…You’re one of the only things I am certain of in the entire universe
…You’ve given me so much and I’m so thankful
…There’s still so much I want to learn from you
◊♦◊
I’m thinking about you because…
…Insignificant and mundane things remind me of you
…Thinking about you comforts me
…Thinking about you makes me feel less alone
And above all, I’m thinking about you because I love you
I just wanted to let you know I was thinking about you.
