You Linger In My Head

I know not of you

Yet you linger in my head 

Quite a lot

Super sweet and simply written, which is brilliant. Little words, yet mighty and strong...rich with meaning and abundant in creativity. -JWE

This must be fruit from Fantasyland, Akkina:) On the other hand, it also reminds me of children who have and speak to imaginary friends! Hugs & smiles ... paul

It sounds like crushes I had on guys I never really never knew as a youth, like movie stars or just guys at school!!

Just my silly mind. Always wanders off to find lines. Although I know what's you mean, I grew up on Clint Eastwood cowboy movies, and I used to stare at his picture believing I was gonna marry him when I grow old enough to be married. Lol!
