As I look beside me, no one's around. For a moment, I thought I was happy again.
It seemed like yesterday that you were here, but now all I feel is the wind.
Sometimes I can hear you whisper, and I'm happy for a while.
But then I remember you left without a word, and I've forgotten how to smile.
What happened? I don't think I'll ever know for sure. It came and went so fast.
Stepping forward, I feel like I haven't moved at all, and I can only see the past.
The memory of your laugh only brings me suffering, and I'm holding my chest.
I need to forget you and move on, but I don't know how to put your memory at rest.
So when I look around, I can finally focus on someone new.
I'll be able to smile, laugh and love without you.
It's my world, but you took it from me too long ago.
Peace, come hold my hand, I want to live and learn to grow.
You see, there's this new angel who is falling for me.
She's beautiful, smart and knows how to be free.
With a smile that lights up my new world, I can't imagine what I ever thought before.
I can't remember why I was ever broken anymore.
The only tears shed are after laughing way too much.
The only thing I can feel on my chest right now, is a soft but confident touch.
She whispers to remind me she'll never leave my side.
Constantly moving forward, we'll learn to grow, it's for us to decide.
