Here I Am...

Year 1987. It was a very sad and tragic year to me. It was the year I lost my classmate (we've known each other since 1980), Nazrina Mohd Nazeri. She died in a tragic car accident at Jalan Johar, Damansara. The car we’re traveling skidded on our way to send her back to Taman Tun Dr Ismail. We went out that night to celebrate her graduation after 3 years from Wisconsin Greenbay University, USA.

That same year also, I ‘lost’ another friend. When I went to see her at Subang Jaya one night, she told me the sad news. She said NO to me. We can remain as friend, she told me. But I want more than that. To me, it was time to take our friendship to another phase – I would like her to be my special girlfriend. That was the last time I saw her…

Here I am playing with those memories again
And just when I thought time had set me free
Those thoughts of you keep taunting me

Holding you, a feeling I never outgrew
Though each and every part of me has tried
Only you can fill that space inside

So there’s no sense pretending
My heart is not mending

Just when I thought I was over you
And just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And I just can’t go on without

On my own I’ve tried to make the best of it alone
I’ve done everything I can to ease the pain
But only you can stop the rain

I just can’t live without you
I miss everything about you

Just when I thought I was over you
And just when I thought I could stand on my own
Oh baby those memories come crashing through
And I just can’t go on without
Go on without
It’s just no good without you
