There’s a woman
I can’t stop thinking about.
It’s not like I’m trying to.
Mostly I think of work,
my dog, my family, and friends.
I don’t think about women
like I did when I was younger.
I can be anywhere
thinking of anything
and there she is.
Every other thought recedes
and she becomes my focus.
For a moment.
For an hour.
I think of her smile,
her laugh,
her touch,
and I am lost
for a moment,
for an hour.
Just the memory
and the fact
that we are not together
makes every moment
and every hour
that much harder
to endure.
i wrote this about the woman i am currently "hanging out" with. i miss her so much when i am not with her that i would never tell her for fear of pressuring her into more of a relationship than she is willing to embrace.
