Frank O`Hara - Song

I chose this poem because I really liked the main point of it. It’s about love which I have been feeling in last 2 months of my life. It reminded me my love when I was reading it. I found myself in it. I do lots of thing in a daily life such as watching TV or movie, going out for a dinner, going to university, playing football, reading a book, singing a song, visiting relatives but just like Frank O’Hara says, actually “I was thinking about you” The writer implies same things for himself there. “Having a Coke in the heat it was your face, I saw on the movie magazine, no it was Fabian's, I was thinking of you, and down at the railroad tracks where the station has mysteriously disappeared, I was thinking of you”(Song) Everything that the writer does, he actually thinks of her on that moment. It’s like there is nothing much important of valuable to think except her love. This poem really made me to think about my love. Even mentioning about her makes me excited, makes me smile, makes me feel different. Yes, I am thinking about her now. Her lovely face, her eyes, the way she talks, her smiles, our moments, and our song (Shayne Ward-Breathless) I going to call her now..yeah I’m in love!
