you've been on my mind for quite some time now.
I know it's wrong. I shouldn't still be thinking of you.
but, here I am anyways, with you on my mind all the time.
I wonder who you've become.
I wonder what you're doing right now.
I wonder how work is going.
I wonder who you're going home to.
I wonder if they get to hear your laugh that used to captivate me.
I wonder if they get to hear your sleepy voice when you first wake up.
I wonder what you tell them about your day every night over dinner.
I wonder if you'll ever come back around.
I wonder if I'll ever get to hear your voice in conversation again.
I wonder if I'll ever be able to call you mine again.
I know I shouldn't occupy myself with "what if's".
but, here I am, wondering if we'll ever cross paths again.
you've been on my mind for quite some time now.
