*...and the rain came down
hard     wet     wet
It Reminded Me Of You
you always tasted like the rain

...and the wind rushed in
swirled     soft     soft
It Reminded Me Of You
you always sounded like the wind

...and the cloud drifted by
vanished     away     away
It Reminded Me Of You
you always felt like the cloud

...and the sun kissed the day
full     hot     hot
It Reminded Me Of You
It Reminded Me Of You

It Reminded Me Of You

*I missed your birthday that was last year
what got in the way was more than a tear

even though we have been far apart
now is the time to make a new start

I long for your touch and dream of your smile
and to share your days for a very long while

I guess we can go day by day
I hope you're feeling in the same way

My love for you I carry still
I offer my heart do what you will

*I am so smart

I can fool myself

but I am too stupid

to figure me out

Today, I am heartsick and woebegone,
Full of the January blues, grey as the new-year sky.  
I wish I looked like Summer,
And could warm myself and everyone else,
I want to be warm, I want to be lovely, just for a while.

What happened to my look-twice smile?

He hurts me in absentia,
Breaks me unknowingly.
I am fine bone china, casually dropped on a black slate floor.
Master of subtle agonies,
He twists me in two
Tortures me with shards of glass,
Cuts, cuts, cuts,
So deep, so deep, that even in my sleep
I bleed my need.
He hurts me invisibly
He hurts me with myself
I hurt myself, with him.
I hurt.
I hurt.

i think I've seen heaven
dressed in partial colours
hiding behind your eyes
i felt it in your touch
sending shivers to my bones
giving me thoughts
i never knew i could fathom
and even I felt every kind of pain
it is you i see
what heaven would be and would feel like
new, fresh, and heavenly.

i think i've seen hell
my blood in my veins
through my heart
that beats only for you
but you don't care, you don't mind
that each pain i feel
burns in vain
but you don't care, you don't mind

*because as I've seen, as I've felt
heaven is nothing
and
hell is my everything
This is about loving, feeling, and hurting, that happened with a certain person as the catalyst of it all. It is just wonderful how a person can do those at the same time, and still be in love.

Love what a powerful tool.
