Thinking Too Much

I saw his reflection
In the looking glass,
I saw his smile,
His eyes--
They were still the same.
I felt something walk across my skin,
Something that felt almost like sorrow,
But it was a  wind that blew
More like regret than sadness.
I dreamed of him the other night,
And the night after that,
And the night that followed---
Ghosts of the mind
Don't play by any rules.
I hear his voice,
When someone else speaks.
I see his face,
When someone else walks by.
I can't look at a red truck without...
Thinking too much,
About all the things that were,
And about all the things that probably
Should have never existed
Between us.
I can't quite put my finger
On the correct emotion,
But I think it's safe to say
That I miss him,
Every once and a while--
And it always hits me fast and strong,
Like fear,
When I least expect it to.
