she told me
that she thought of me
from “time to time”
and why not?
people always think of people
they know
even if it’s just
a quick thought
going through the head
a quick image
a thought about
completely nothing
of course
in my case
when I hear that
my thoughts go
straight in to the gutter
and my mind wanders
she must have known that
because she immediately
clarified that
“it was nothing sexual”
i knew that it was nothing
more than a thought
but for a brief moment
i wanted to think otherwise
and bask in it
as it gets boring and monotonous
sometimes outside my head
so i typically retreat back inside
where i can get lost
and things seem better
