You Are With Me Still

The light outside my window is fading with the sky

The shadows grow as if to show another year gone by

I feel it in the long nights and in the winter chill

And time moves on, one more year gone

But you are with me still

Some things can be forgotten and left for time to blur

I thought that I had left behind all the things you were

I never thought I’d swallow betrayal’s bitter pill

But the more time heals, the more I feel

That you are with me still

And the years have laid to rest these ghosts somehow

And it’s all the things I loved in you that I remember now

And all my rage unspoken, and all my tears uncried

Are as faded now as the distant cloud in this pale winter sky

And the things I wished I’d told you and now I never will

I’ve let them go, and all I know

Is you are with me still
