If You Are Thinking Of Me Tonight Poem by Starfish ZA

Verse 1

I wonder where you are tonight
And if I ever cross your mind
Do you stop yourself from calling
Like I've stopped myself sometimes?
There's a feeling I can't explain
And a truth I can't quite see
I keep telling myself it's nothing
But it's something here in me

Verse 2

I've been careful with my footsteps
I've been watching what I say
'Cause a heart can make a promise
That a life can't give away
And I know there must be reasons
Why some doors are better closed
But it's hard to leave a feeling
When it's all you've come to know

Chorus

If you're thinking of me
Don't tell me tonight
I've been trying so hard
To do something right
There's a whole lot of wanting
Between wrong and right
So if you're thinking of me
Let me believe you're not tonight

Verse 3

Sometimes I almost reach for you
Just to hear you say my name
Then I think about tomorrow
And the things that it could change
Maybe I'm just chasing shadows
Maybe you don't feel a thing
But I hear a thousand answers
In the silence that you bring

Chorus

If you're thinking of me
Don't tell me tonight
I've been trying so hard
To do something right
There's a whole lot of wanting
Between wrong and right
So if you're thinking of me
Let me believe you're not tonight

Bridge

They're only words, I tell myself
Just words that come and go
But words can start a fire
That nobody meant to grow
And I can't say that it's wrong
When it feels so much like right
But I know some things look different
In the morning's honest light

Final Chorus

If you're thinking of me
Don't tell me tonight
I'm still holding on
To the things I know are right
And if there's a little longing
In the silence of goodbye
Then if you're thinking of me
Let me believe you're not tonight

Outro

I'll keep my thoughts here with me
You keep yours wherever you are
Some things never happen
But still live inside the heart

And if you're thinking of me...
Let me believe you're not tonight.
