Since You’ve Been Gone

I won’t let you vaporise
Before my eyes
I won’t let you fade and die
I will keep you alive
Hoping that one day you’ll materialise.

For you are in my thoughts and dreams
Your love is still in me
You flow through my veins
In my heart you’ll remain.

The very thought of you
Pulls passions
I watch them collide
Deep inside of me
Like the turbulent sea
I walk parallel lines
To see what I can find
At the very end
I still search for you
My friend.

In places that I would normally not go
In the faces of strangers that I pass
Deep down I hold onto memories
Hoping that they last
Forever and then some
For your love is alive
More than ever
Since you’ve been gone.
