                                              lately i don't think so much of you
i don't picture us holding hands
or sleepily pulling each other close on winter nights
or whatever it is those couples on TV do
                          lately i don't think of anyone in that way
when my mind wanders to visions of love
kissing, touching, leaving our marks on each other
my heart screams
                          no! no! no!
                          lately i reject the very idea of love
for fear of becoming too obsessed with it
like i do with everything else
and what's worse than becoming obsessed 
with something you can never ever obtain
                          lately i go against my better judgement 
and let my body be consumed with longing for you
it's been 3 years
no contact, no words exchanged 
and it's like you never left
