Lovesick

I can’t stop thinking about you.

I don’t even notice that fifteen minutes have gone by,

Or that the movie is over.

That one song, playing in loop.

 

I stop myself from saying your name,

because I like how it feels coming out of my mouth.

People talking to me and my mind saying,

God, I love you.

 

Achy and addictive my heart yearns,

only to be fulfilled by your care.

My mind has quit fighting itself.

The only thing I want to say is:

You. I love you.
