I'm Thinking About You.

Tonight I asked you what you think about most.

As always, your response was "I don't know."

Then you asked me.

And I responded with the same.
Even though I knew it was not true.

Not true at all.

What do I think about most?

You.
Always you.

The truth is I can't get you out of my head. 

I am constantly thinking about you. 

I think about you like clocks think about ticking. 

Like seconds think about minutes and minutes think about hours. 

I think about you like clouds think about rainstorms, and like umbrellas think about rain.

Like Eeyore thinks about being grumpy. 

Like Pooh thinks about honey.

I think about you like the earth thinks about spinning. 

Like the sun thinks about shining. 

Like grass thinks about growing.
I think about you like I think about how stupid the things I just said were.

I think about you like life thinks about lemons.
Like lemons think about lemonade.
Like we wonder where these phrases even came from, or how they make sense.

I think about you like calculators think about math. 

Like backpacks think about books and like books think about words. 

I think about you like teachers think about homework.
Like students think about the weekend.

I can't not think about you. Even if I try.
You are always somehow in my thoughts.

I think about you like cookies think about milk. 

Like brownies think about chocolate. 

Like I think about food. But more.

I think about you like monsters think about closets.

Like little kids think of checking under the bed every night.

Now I am asking myself.

When am I not thinking about you?

I think about you all of the time.

And when I do, I am always wondering.

Do you ever think about me like I think about you?
