Things happened, a lot changed;
We grew apart, over the time the
calendars changed;
I thought that it was the end;
And all along I tried to pretend,
That without you, it'd be fine,
"Nay", whispered this heart of mine.
When I asked whether you'll ever happen again,
Life sometimes replied, "Never again",
Yet, I hoped you'll return,
And for once not adjourn..
But it took me so long
To know that I was wrong.
And now, I realise with surprise, that
Into my life, with days that were grim and
black,

YOU NEVER HAD TO FIND A WAY BACK,
BECAUSE YOU NEVER LEFT MY SIDE
THROUGHOUT THIS BUMPY RIDE..
