If you are talking about a relationship with a specific person, you may be experiencing something called limerence.
 
Christianity IS a relationship. We were created in the image of God, the Holy Trinity is relationship, the Holy Family is relationship, every term used by the Church and Scripture is relational: Family, Spousal, Brothers, Community. We are designed to be in relationship, in community, in friendship, in the relationship of our vocation.

The Catechism: 2347 The virtue of chastity blossoms in friendship . It shows the disciple how to follow and imitate him who has chosen us as his friends, who has given himself totally to us and allows us to participate in his divine estate. Chastity is a promise of immortality.

Chastity is expressed notably in friendship with one’s neighbor . Whether it develops between persons of the same or opposite sex, friendship represents a great good for all. It leads to spiritual communion.
 
If you mean thoughts of a relationship with another person, or thoughts of lust over it, the good news is it will eventually leave your head though it might take years.

I think we have all had situations of wanting a relationship, or wanting a relationship with a specific, unavailable person, that we wished we could just turn off. God has fortunately gotten me past all that but it was a real burden for quite a long time.

You’re not going to like this answer, but if you focus on God more he will eventually replace all the bothersome thoughts in your head with thoughts of himself.
