Flicker of Memories

A tiny light in the darkened sky, Trembles in the cold night air. Names I couldn’t say, fading memories, Tears fall as I follow shadows of the past. At the edge of this frozen night, My breath rises, calling out for you. ONLY THE LOVE WE HAD— ONLY THE FEELING THAT REMAINS— On the road where you once walked, I’m still standing here. Though I can’t reach you, Though I can’t forget you, When I quietly close my eyes, You come alive inside of me. Time keeps pulling me away, And you fade like a dream. Scattered words, a silent heart, Disappear like starlight in the wind. I try to forget, but I never can— You’re the last song I’ll ever sing. ONLY THE LOVE WE HAD— ONLY THE FEELING THAT REMAINS— On the road where you once walked, I’m still standing here. Though I can’t reach you, Though I can’t forget you, When I quietly close my eyes, You come alive inside of me. Upon the barren ground, My body burns away, The scent of you still lingers At my fingertips. Though your shadow drifts away, And I can’t hold on anymore, I’ll live just enough, Hate just enough, Until the day I find you again— I will bloom once more. FOR ALL THE LOVE WE SHARED— FOR ALL THE PAIN I’VE BORNE— Now I’ll let you go with a smile. Someday, along that river’s flow, We’ll meet again as starlight.
