I thought I saw a shadow,

Alas, it was nothing but my own.

It was right there beside me,

Wanting to follow me home.

I thought I saw you standing there,

In the window watching me sleep.

It wasn’t scary nor haunting,

But it did make me weep.

I still love you ‘til this day,

But I need to start anew.

I could feel your Love following me,

What am I supposed to do?

I want to let go,

Need to turn a new leaf,

But I’m left with a familiar stranger,

And their name is Grief.

I’m not used to loneliness,

That’s what hurts the most.

Grief follows me around,

A shadow—like an uninvited Ghost.

I meant it when I said it,

I’d Love you ‘til the day we part,

I didn’t realize you’d leave me,

So soon from when we’d start.

Forever in my heart and soul,

If only your spirit will it be,

You can follow me home today,

If you promise you’ll let me be free.
