I thought of you today

I thought of you today
And reprimanded myself
I love someone else
And you shouldn't be in my thoughts

But you're everywhere
You're in that blue butterfly I saw
Flying across the gray sky

You're that cloud shaped like a heart
Floating mindlessly into the sea up above

You're that daisy I picked
Growing through the cracks of the sidewalk

I went to that bench
In the park where we sat
Seemingly another lifetime
I can't get back

I could still feel your arm around me
I shouldn't feel it

And you love someone else
And it's not me
I wonder why we moved on so quickly

Or maybe it was just you
Finding another love
While I tried to stay in the past

I looked for the cloud again today
It was a cloudless day 
And the sun seemed halfheartedly shining 

I thought of you again
You don't think of me, do you?
