I can’t seem to quit thinking about you
I’ve tried to distract myself
by keeping myself busy
but there’s nothing else for me to do.

When I close my eyes,
you’re the first thing I see
wondering where you are and how you are doing
thinking about loose boundaries and cut ties.

Knowing I should try to focus on something else instead
but that’s impossible
because I can’t stop thinking about you
and I can’t seem to get you out of my head.

This poem was written in courtesy of families that have soldiers in the army and are waiting for them to return home. This is also for those who have soul mates and can't seem to get them out of their head.
