Every Little Thing

Amy Kitryn

I didn’t care about our fantasy bonds.

Fate didn’t want us together the way I did before.

That’s not happening anymore. Embrace that it’s over.

Because everything’s deciding to start again.

 

You’re the person in my mind, in my heart now.

Real and standing within my reach.

Turned around, ran away, thought it ended.

And then I come crashing back to you,

 

you didn’t have to ask.

 

Need I tell you about my October nights?

The way you caught my eye and my mind later knew.

Malfunctioned me, reminded me of all I love.

But every little thing reminds me of you.

All of those moments I still remember.

The voices and faces of our scenes.

Thought they became static, yet now?

Every little thing reminds me of you.

 

Late night, middle of the night hours gone to wonder.

Can’t sleep, can’t think because you fill my mind.

I told myself I couldn’t fall, can’t go back to this.

But why is it I’m slipping back?

 

Funny how at the start I begged for it to stop.

Wishing I could draw lines I could keep in place.

But once I cross, I realize I want this life now.

It’s never gonna end. You’ve brought me back to life.

 

Need I remind you of my October nights?

You said all the right words. Now I’m falling into place.

Wished for the good, it got better and better.

The others were losing me.

Does every little thing remind you of me?

Did I plan it out so well? Make it all happen?

Change my place for new circumstances?

Is it the reason people like you kept coming back?

If every little thing reminds you of me.

 

Process the fallout

as it’s happened so fast, too fast.

You can’t catch up.

The heat is rising.

 

Everything fell apart so clear.

I couldn’t stay here,

so I followed you.

Now I can’t let go.

 

Always remember those October nights.

Remember when I realized what I wanted?

I screamed into the void that it’s real

that I can reach out and you’d catch me if given the chance.

October nights, it’s all just begun.

I thought I ran out.

Needed escape, and I got it, and now I’m back.

The war is over, our story’s starting.

And every little thing reminds me of you.

Everything people say and do.

And the way the world moves in the path I set,

every little thing reminds you of me.
