Analysis of Habits
I’ve got a lot of bad habits.
I stay up late.
I drink my weight in coffee, daily.
I forget to text you back every now and then,
and when it comes to others, rarely at all do they
get a reply.
I often don’t listen.
I day-dream a lot and find myself in fantasy more than in reality.
I rarely go outside.
But if there is one habit
I have no intention of
breaking, it’s the constant
stream of thoughts that orbit around you.
I refuse to stop loving you and I refuse to stop thinking of you.
On the off chance that I’m not by your side, all my spare time
is devoted to thoughts only of you.
I’d have it no other way.
