Only Reminds Me Of You

Only Reminds Me Of You
(from Songs Rediscovered by Jed Madela)

I see you, beside me
It's only a dream
A vision of what used to be
The laughter, the sorrow
Pictures, in time
Fading to memory

How could I ever let you go?
Is it too late to let you know?

I'd rather ran from your side
But each place I hide
Only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lights
Even the night
Only reminds me of you

I needed my freedom, that's what I thought
But I was fool to believe
My heart lied, when you cried
Rivers of tears
But I was too blind to see
Everything we've been through before
Now it means so much more

I'd rather ran from your side
But each place I hide
It only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lights
Even the night
Only reminds me of you

Only you...

Come back to me
I'm down on my knees
Boy, can't you see?

How could I ever let you go?
Is it too late to late you know?

I'd rather ran from your side
But each place I hide
Only reminds me of you
When I turn out all the lights
Even the night
Only reminds me of you

Only reminds me of you...


I was ready to move on. Or so I thought. I promised myself that by a cerain time, you and memories of you will not bother me anymore. But how can I do that when I hear songs like "Colour Everywhere" and "Wherever You Are"? Songs that remind me of you. How can I move on when my phone would ring and I would hear your voice? And the flood of memories would come back to warm me all over again. Somehow, you will always remain in me. Not someone that I used to love. More of the one that I will always care for. Pretty pathetic, no?

I know what I feel for you but I'm not quite sure how you feel about me. It is not a secret that I feel something else for you, other than what friends should feel for each other. I can't read you as well as I thought I can. The sad thing is I can never really be friends with you if you tell me that we're better off apart. Not for awhile anyway. And maybe that's what I'm afraid of: that I have to let you go.
