Shades of light surround me
Silhouetting days that I forgot
Distant words of laughter
Feelings I miss a lot
Life seems so familiar
Yet so long ago
I feel the hands of history
The places that I know
For you did not just help me
You showed me how to live
Regrets they make us human
We learn the meaning of forgive
I took your love for granted
Yet the curtains are now shut
The stage is cleared of drama
No divas here to strut
For everything you gave me
I kept it all inside
A heart that never left you
When I had no place to hide
Words are never easy
To say or even to write
But remember this as you wake
You are my heart and might
An open heart awaits you
A soul you know so well
You are as much as I am
Eternal love does dwell
So take my hand and hold it
For I am nothing without you
Life is one pure story
And it ends with you
