And there came a day
When the sun choose to set at noon
I heard people around me say
That a beautiful soul had gone so soon
I could swear you were immortal
Seems I overlooked the "mortal" at the end of the word
I thought death was meant for the immoral
Looks like I Still had a lot to learn about life and this strange world
They tell us that time heals all wound
But I figured the scar was enough to bring back painful memories
A scarred heart is same as one with wound
It is same hurt, same pain, only now we refer to them as memories
Years have passed and more will
Day by day I seem to find comfort in this pain
I like to think it's God's will
As I hope that someday we will meet again
Cheers to the years you never saw
As I'm left behind to tend the sore
