Always On My Mind Poem by Tina Dang

I don’t understand why I keep thinking of you constantly
Even though you’ve made it clear it’s over between you and me
It’s foolish of me to think that I could be the only one that loves you as much as I do
I was naïve and took your love for granted and now the whole world is in love with you
I lay in my bed to rest my head and attempt to make myself fall asleep
Stop myself from thinking about you but I can’t my feelings for you are too deep
I’m trying to take a break from my thoughts and search within my soul
Yet every corner of my mind that I turn to there you were; it’s out of my control
My head hurts so much just thinking about how much I miss you
My heart is crying out loud saying that I am still in love with you
Reason I can’t let go because you were my answer to every question
Now that you’re not around I am lost not knowing the right direction
If only we could go back to how we were then, knowing everything between us was alright
I want to be the one that you stay up late with and have you lay in my arms as I hold you tight
I want to be the one to call you up when you feel scared and alone
Let me be that special person to comfort you over the telephone
I would overcome my fears just to keep you safe; such as getting rid of the bugs
If ever you feel sick or sad, allow me to care for you and cheer you up with hugs
I can remember that whenever you were sick the only medicine that would cure you is ice cream
It seems as if it was long ago, yet I remember as if it was yesterday that we made a perfect imperfect team
There’s so much that we have been through
Hence my mind wanders and still think of only you
Even though you have moved on and chose to left memories of me behind
On the other I am still here, haven’t let go yet because you’re always on my mind
