Analysis of On my Mind



Not a single memory or thought can I find
But Yet I have you on my mind.
Can’t capture you with eyes crystal clear
Wouldn’t hear your voice in both my ear
No feelings of hate or love have I
No address or even a name to go by
Not one single photo or card from you
No habits or reference of things that you do
Not a single memory or thought can I find
But Yet I have you on my mind.
