How to stop loving you

The wind reminds me of you Makes me feel that it must have touched you too The water takes me back to that night Night where everything just felt so right The sun reminds me of us The good times, sense of belongingness and trust The moon reminds me of my heart It tries so hard to shine in the dark The trees remind me of your soul And how you'd always stand so tall Life reminds me of you You remind me of life These eyes just look for you in a crowd Heart skips a beat if I hear a familiar sound Tired and exhausted My soul cries for help In a world that's full of maybes It's looking for a yes And not just any yes But a yes from you Cause I don't know how to stop How to stop loving you Love, Aaliyah
