You go on

How do you go on?

How do you live knowing all that you do?

Does it take your breath away?

I watch you live,

Yet I’m watching life pass you by,

I watch your happiness elude you,

And I see you want to hold her,

To hold on to all you’ve known but it’s too late,

It’s gone.

It’s slipped by,

And he has taken it all away from you,

But you go on loving,

Go on breathing,

Go on trying to be all that you can,

And stop trying to be in love

With the phantom of her heart you wished you could hold.

But then, how can you let go,

When all your dreams are tied up with all you know and feel of her,

But I can’t bear to watch your sorrow anymore,

To feel your pain when you speak,

To see it in your eyes and want to cry,

To make it go away.

Please, be free.
