Existentially Stuck

getting over you is the filler of my nowadays
i surround my attention span with things to look forward to
i still have a headache when telling myself it was not meant to be
friends say i should forget the past, but they don't know how you move me

when i commute to work, i tell myself that one day i will see you again
accusations of harassment via email is a reality check that i choose to ignore
i self-trance myself daydreaming of the taste of your flavor on my tongue again
i am obsessed with the distant expression of you, but i was far closer to too far away

i often wonder where you are and what you are doing 
i often think about who has your heart and who has your love
i often wish that God would have done something with your heart and turned you back my way
i often hope that one day you will find it in you to tell me why you hurt me so
