Captured.

I can't stop thinking about you.

You.

You grab onto my thoughts like a chocolate craving. Like gum on a shoe. Like an anchor to a ship hitting the ocean ground.

I'm thinking about you like cats think about sleep. How they sleep whenever they want and still can never be satisfied. I'm thinking about you like rings think about fingers. Like shelves think about books and how they get dusty and forgotten. I can't stop thinking about you.

You crawl into my dreams and I think about you more. I'm thinking about you like rain thinks about rainbows. Like lightening thinks about open land. I'm thinking about you like shells think about hearing the ocean. I'm thinking about you. I'm thinking about you like paintbrushes think about a canvas. Like white thinks about color.

I'm thinking about you with these thoughts that don't make sense. I'm thinking about you like the mountains think about the rising sun. Like eyes think about miracles. Like miracles of a child recovering from cancer.

I'm thinking about you like books think about the ending. How I wish it was the ending! I wish I knew already if I was just wasting my time. I'm thinking about you like boys think about food and children think about eating sand. I'm thinking about you like pictures think about being captured. Because you captured me and now all I can do is think about you.
