A PART OF YOU REMAINS

After the heartache
After the tears
After the loss
Of so many years
A part of you, remains
The part you left behind
As though we're still together
If only, in my mind
Traces of you, still lingering
As though you're reluctant to leave
I relive the feelings, the memories
While you make it so hard to believe
You've been gone for many years
But I can feel your presence near
How can I possibly, move on
While you're still lingering here
The heartache, the sorrow, the tears
They have slowly ebbed away
It's time to let you go; My love
I'll miss you, but I'm going to be okay
I'll keep your smile close to me
The tender moments that we had
I'll cherish all the memories
Then I won't be so sad
