Yes, you’re gone, but you’re still here

Not far away in time

I was yours and you were mine

then you went and said goodbye

broke my heart and made me cry

but what makes it worse for me

is that I can’t seem to be free

yes, you’re gone, but you’re still here

You’re here in everything we shared

when together we were paired

you’re here in the gifts I still own

even though you’ve left me alone

I think of you every day

the pain just wont go away

Yes, you’re gone, but you’re still here

I shared so much of me with you

thought we’d be friends forever true

but now you’ve left me behind

except the memories in my mind

I can’t move on, I can’t let go

but you will never ever know

Yes, you’re gone, but you’re still here

Somehow I have to carry on

though it seems half of me is gone

even though I am distress

from this world there is no egress

I have responsibilities to uphold

though from my pain I’m not paroled

Yes, you’re gone, but you’re still here.

Your absence is true and real

but haunted is how I feel

Yes, you’re gone, but you’re still here

I say it again ...

Yes, you’re gone, but you’re still here.

End
