Amy Kitryn<\/span><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t care about our fantasy bonds.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fate didn\u2019t want us together the way I did before.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s not happening anymore. Embrace that it\u2019s over.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because everything\u2019s deciding to start again.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019re the person in my mind, in my heart now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Real and standing within my reach.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turned around, ran away, thought it ended.<\/span><\/p>\n

And then I come crashing back to you,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

you didn\u2019t have to ask.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Need I tell you about my October nights?<\/span><\/p>\n

The way you caught my eye and my mind later knew.<\/span><\/p>\n

Malfunctioned me, reminded me of all I love.<\/span><\/p>\n

But every little thing reminds me of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

All of those moments I still remember.<\/span><\/p>\n

The voices and faces of our scenes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thought they became static, yet now?<\/span><\/p>\n

Every little thing reminds me of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Late night, middle of the night hours gone to wonder.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can\u2019t sleep, can\u2019t think because you fill my mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

I told myself I couldn\u2019t fall, can\u2019t go back to this.<\/span><\/p>\n

But why is it I\u2019m slipping back?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Funny how at the start I begged for it to stop.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wishing I could draw lines I could keep in place.<\/span><\/p>\n

But once I cross, I realize I want this life now.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s never gonna end. You\u2019ve brought me back to life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Need I remind you of my October nights?<\/span><\/p>\n

You said all the right words. Now I\u2019m falling into place.<\/span><\/p>\n

Wished for the good, it got better and better.<\/span><\/p>\n

The others were losing me.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does every little thing remind you of me?<\/span><\/p>\n

Did I plan it out so well? Make it all happen?<\/span><\/p>\n

Change my place for new circumstances?<\/span><\/p>\n

Is it the reason people like you kept coming back?<\/span><\/p>\n

If every little thing reminds you of me.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Process the fallout<\/span><\/p>\n

as it\u2019s happened so fast, too fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can\u2019t catch up.<\/span><\/p>\n

The heat is rising.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Everything fell apart so clear.<\/span><\/p>\n

I couldn\u2019t stay here,<\/span><\/p>\n

so I followed you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now I can\u2019t let go.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Always remember those October nights.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember when I realized what I wanted?<\/span><\/p>\n

I screamed into the void that it\u2019s real<\/span><\/p>\n

that I can reach out and you\u2019d catch me if given the chance.<\/span><\/p>\n

October nights, it\u2019s all just begun.<\/span><\/p>\n

I thought I ran out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Needed escape, and I got it, and now I\u2019m back.<\/span><\/p>\n

The war is over, our story\u2019s starting.<\/span><\/p>\n

And every little thing reminds me of you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Everything people say and do.<\/span><\/p>\n

And the way the world moves in the path I set,<\/span><\/p>\n

every little thing reminds you of me.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
