"WITHOUT THINKING"

I reached for you this morning
Without thinking as I woke
The way I always used to
As the day so softly broke
In the place we used to meet
And realised, without thinking
I’d been saving you a seat
I called for you just now
Because I thought I’d seen you there
And without thinking, suddenly
Your name was on the air
I cried for you last night
Because I couldn’t keep it in
And instinct took me over
As I let the darkness win
But that is how it is these days
And I have understood
That so much of my thinking
Will lead back to thoughts of us
So, I’ll think of you tomorrow
Like I did just yesterday
And like, without much thinking
I have thought of you today
See, it’s such a contradiction
But it couldn’t be more true
That always, without thinking
I am thinking about you
