Haunting my mind

Haunting my mind

Country music, church, that certain smell,

Big hugs, cowboy hats, Oklahoma,

Long car rides, Whoppers, doughnuts,

Summer, dodge trucks, and movies on my birthday.

These simple things remind me of you

But most of all I see you when I look in the mirror

I see you stare back at me

And can’t help but look away

 The sharp pain in my chest

When you come to mind

You’d think I’d be over it by now

But you wander in every day

I really wish you wouldn't 

It’s hard enough to forget

Without you coming and going as you please

I’m begging you, leave me be

The daily reminders are killing me

Your face flashes in my mind

And a sadness rushes over me

Sometimes for seconds or even hours

I think of you often, more than you’ll ever know

Do you think of me as much as I think of you?

Do you long and wish and hope that things could go back to the way they were?

I do sometimes; I wish you were in my life

And in my heart, like a real father would be

But I guess I’ll never be rid of you

You’ll follow me forever haunting my mind

As I secretly wish that I am haunting yours.
