Requiem (Instrumental)

I can't help but tell myself that I wish I found out earlier Never could I have imagined how this Could have happened to me... to us... to you... I keep sifting through questions vacant of answers Only to feel the sands of hope slipping through powerless fingers Dreams of grandeur lay in ruin, And everything that once was, will never be again. How am I to pick up the pieces? I've grown distant I've become hollow Not a moment passes that I don't beg to take your place I just can't hold myself together anymore When alone I look in the mirror and I can't Even force a smile let alone breathe with ease How can I have the capacity to be when my heart's in constant atrophy? Heartache is a lot more than it seems and why do I carry on? Well, I know it's what you would have Wanted but it's hard to breathe when you're gone I swear I'll make you proud I'll miss our conversations and I'm Sorry we couldn't grow old together We will meet again even if it takes forever I won't go cold nor will I slowly wither This isn't fair, but I see the sun Coming to terms with our final farewell All has unwillingly come undone Dreaming away Floating free Visions of amber spilling grief We'll dream again I won't forget I'll heal and mend I'll find content Sunsets of golden rose Spirits dance beyond the cold You reside in the meadow of my memories in gleaming light Eternal glow Ethereal Gone with the tides Without the grace in which you gave I would have drowned, I would have caved Although you're gone, you're always here I'll find my way and meet you there Thank you Things are better now I'm holding on I have so much to tell you when we meet again I know you'd be proud of me (I want you to know) I think about you all the time I miss you
