dear you

dear you,

i tried not to think about you when someone said Disneyland. 
i tried not to think about you when i saw the trident layer gum at the checkout.
i tried not to think about you when i was driving past the dollar theater and saw that Walter Mitty was playing.
i tried not to think about you when someone mentioned the rivalry.
i tried not to think about you when your mom texted me. 
i tried not to think about you when i saw Saving Mr. Banks at walmart when i walked it. 
i tried not to think about you when i overheard a boy saying that his spirit animal was a lion.
i tried not to think about you when i heard Pink on the radio.
i tried not to think about you when on American idol the singer had your same name.
i tried not to think about you when i saw your tweets about her.



i tried not thinking about you, but it's not working out so well.
