I can't help but overthink everything
To the point where my brain feels numb
He does something fairly simple
Yet it sends my mind into a frenzy

I attempt to decipher nonexistent codes
Over analyzing every word
Holding onto every inhaled breath
Not wanting to exhale, not wanting to let go

I convince myself of a fantasy
Whether it's a nightmare or a dream
I tell myself it's something it's not
I drive myself crazy with possibilities

No amount of medication can keep you off my mind
The dull ache present from overthinking
Nothing seems to bring it to a halt
I'm counting down the seconds until we speak again
