YOU

I'm thinking about you.

I'm thinking about you like notes think about music,

Like keys think about playing,

Like skies think about changing

And light thinks about dancing. 

I'm thinking about you like dandelion seeds think about wishes

And their one chance to fly. 

I'm thinking about you like that fly thinks about buzzing 

In your room all night long

(what is with that?)

Cuz I can't sleep with the thoughts of you keeping me up late

And I wish it was you I was keeping company with

(not some annoying fly).

I'm thinking about you

Like hot chocolate thinks about marshmallows,

Like shoulders think about touching,

Like hearts think about racing

And traffic thinks about rushing

And runners think about sprinting

And time

Thinks about standing still
Just to see you smile.

I'm thinking about you like fingers think about drumming,

Like lips think about humming,

Like my head thinks about staying but

My heart thinks about going. 

I'm thinking about you

Like waves think about breaking

The way my heart does when you leave. 

I'm thinking about you,

Like feet think about kicking off shoes and running through sprinklers,

Like macaroni thinks about how cheesy it is

To be a perfect match.

I'm thinking about you

Like pens think about ink

Bleeding onto a page and forming words bursting to be said. 

I’m thinking about you like clocks think about numbers 

Like stars think about falling. 

Whenever I see a star holding

On to the sky, I pray it falls

just to wish

for you. 

I’m thinking about you

Like the world thinks about shifting,

Like people think about existence,

Like radicals think about becoming,

Like dreams think about hope,

Like I hope you think about me as much as I think about you. 

I'm thinking about you like

Like sounds think about shapes

And four thinks about blue,

Like people think I'm crazy but I don't care because

I can't think about

anyone

but

you.
