come to mind

i know i've said it before

to myself at least, that i don't need you

that i've lived these years without -

without knowing there was a you

yet i think back to the times

there wasn't a you in the picture

and i honestly can't see much of anything


i need you more than you'll ever need me

i realize it now, it's true

i'm sitting, patiently in the future

waiting for you to catch up

get out of that desert, come to me

or maybe we'll find a place

where it's just the two of us


i think about you sometimes

i promise that my mind

is made up of so many things

that i can't even remember my own name

rather it's running on the memory of you

a simple reminisce of your laugh

gears are turning and your name just echoes


feeling like i'll always be searching

believing in things i never knew i would

a zodiac killer when i look up our sign compatibility, things i'm not even sure of

run their fingers across my skin

saying "hey, it was nice while it lasted" before it even ended


here in the digital age

i can send you a heart emoji

and hope you get what it means

go to planetariums, sit under pictured stars and virtual black holes

seeing the graphs in the sky make me want

to kiss the lines under your eyes


i have my handbook of people

your place above them all, even if it's a list on a piece of paper

writing notes in the margins

but nothing ever catches you in a way

you deserve, anything i say

doesn't compare to the love i'll show you


show me your mind

since you live in mine, can i borrow a spot in yours?

come to mind

is such a empty phrase when you've never left it


forever  until the end
