Everything reminds me

As the days go by and I live it on
Going through the motions of another day beyond
Familiar places and familiar faces
No, I don't see any... yet, it's there

I see it when I look into my furkid's eyes
I sit in the car and the radio reminds me
The music it plays reminds me again
And I drive out the driveway and yet again, I see it there

The intersection, the curve off where we part in our separate cars
A wave, a honk...I remember
Friendship park...the times we went there...
Moon cake festivals most of all
Starbucks..how you didn't like it cos it was pricey
Cityone...the movies...and also coffee
Spring for the endless weekend walks
Swinburne where you studied
Rusty Bean & Batter where you had lunch meetings
King centre where you worked
Also crowne square.
Chiking for Sunday lunch
Angelus where you took up gym membership
Bak Kut Teh shop along ang cheng ho where we met some friends
4th mile where you cut your hair... For an hour, no less
Where I work...ohh...the million places
Where you used to wait for me in the middle of the night after you finished your work
Or the on all rooms where you waited for me to take a break
Any peach colored Kancil that I see on the road triggers a missed beat
As does the words "I feel so close to you right now....it's a force field..."
Every time I want to tell the time, it's like looking into your eyes
Imagining how you took time to pick it out... Looking for it months on end

Looking back I see it all now
But no, I didn't see it then
How naive was I to overlook all these small small things
Things that made it 'You & I'

Now reminiscing doesn't do much good anymore
As hurting as that sounds
But these memories continue to live on in my head
Cos EVERYTHING just reminds me....

When I find you...
I promise to be your biggest fan
So much pent up emotions...
They will waterfall around you.

Each and every day I pray
That every step we take is a step closer to each other
For I do not want to go through the this journey without having met you
It would be such a sad thing to do

When I find you one day...
Please don't let me ever let you go.
For I cannot take another of these heartaches
Or the feeling of being left alone

The pain, the hurt, the grief inside
The tears, the silence, the anger it holds
The thoughts that run through my head
Besotted, biased and unrefined

I will surely find you one day
Heaven, please bring that day sooner than later
For I cannot wait to embark on this journey
To share my hopes, dreams and aspirations of what I think this life could be
