Analysis of Wondering



Why can’t I keep my mind off of you?
If it’s because you’re my heart’s desire, why won’t God put me back with you?  
24 hours a day, most days a week~
you sprint through my mind even when I sleep~
God, please show me what you’re trying to tell me
without a soul getting hurt~
Plus, why doesn’t the current one affect me this way - only the first?
