It Reminds Me of You

by Iain Wear

I picked up the tag

That you tore from your clothes

I couldn't bear to throw it away

It's torn and it's crumpled

And no longer of use

But I like it

'Cause it reminds me of you

I rented the movie

You said I should see

The title's burned deep in my brain

It was all in a language

That I don't understand

But I liked it

'Cause it reminds me of you

I test drove a car

Like the one that you have

The one that brought you to me

The handling was sloppy

And it goes far too slow

But I liked it

'Cause it reminds me of you

I went to the store

Where you buy lingerie

I guess I won't see it on you

There was none in your style

And none in your size

But I bought it

'Cause it reminds me of you

I trawled through the library

For the books that you read

Where the writers tell tales of their lives

They were all badly written

And the stories were bland

But I like them

'Cause they remind me of you

I went to the places

You said you had been

Saw the sights that you said I should see

They were cold and so lifeless

And the people were rude

But I liked them

'Cause they remind me of you

I saved all the texts

That are signed with your name

And I read them all through every night

They only serve to remind me

Every word was a lie

But I like them

'Cause every one came from you

I relived the dreams

Of the times that we had

Of the moments that were all too few

They end all too quickly

And the truth is less fun

But I like them

'Cause they remind me of you

I look at your picture

Hundred times every day

I look away and I can still see your smile

It's a beautiful picture

Though I'd rather have you

But I like it

'Cause it reminds me of you

I picked up my heart

When you threw it away

Though I don't think that I'll need it again

It's broken and bleeding

And it's all out of love

But I like it

'Cause it reminds me of you
