I live my life preoccupied

I live my life preoccupied

with stuffs to do

lists to finish

movies to watch

songs to play

Stuffs not with you

I live my life preoccupied

with places to go

classes to attend

meals to eat

stores to shop

Places away from you

I live my life preoccupied

with people to see

teachers to greet

families to visit

friends to chill

People other than you

Preoccupied to ignore the signs

that I’m losing my mind

Preoccupied to distract the present

that I’m numbing my senses

I’ve needed you more than I thought I should

I’ve missed you more than I thought I would

I’ve loved you more than I thought I could

If I stay preoccupied, my thoughts will stop

Preoccupied to prevent my arms

from holding you in my warmth

Preoccupied to avert my eyes

from keeping you in my sight

I live my life preoccupied

with things less important

less painful

less lively

less hurtful
Less amazing than you
