You
by
Kimberly Hunt
No matter what I do
to keep my mind off of you,
I end up thinking...
Wondering what you're doing.
I am fixated on you.
Taken by you.
I can not get you out of my head
for more than a minute at a time.
My thoughts always return to you...
I am curious --
Do you think about me too?
Do you wonder where I am?
Do you think about who I am with?
Do I haunt your dreams in
the same fashion that you torment me in mine?
No matter what I do
to get you off my mind,
I end up thinking...
Wondering if I am there
in your dreams by your side.
You are lying by mine,
although you don't even know it.
You are constantly on my mind,
you are a permanent fixture on my heart,
and the perpetual center of my dreams.
I want to stop the thinking,
the feeling and the dreaming.
I want you to get out of my life.
I left yours a long time ago, and
yet you still kept me with you.
I want to take back control.
I want to own my own life.
But no matter what I do,
I can't get you out of my head,
off of my mind,
and out of my dreams.
Please let me go.
Release me, and let me move on.
No matter what I may have told you before,
I don't want to love you anymore.
Let me go, and let me live.
Let me sleep and let me give.
I want to give myself to another.
But I can not --
Until you let me have myself back.
