The time has long since past
The seasons have changed once again
Summer breeze gives way to winter winds
Watching the leaves as they fall
But your shadow lives on
Lingering in my room when it gets late
Even though by now, you're long gone

I didn't see what was in front of me
I watched as the ice and frost took hold
Leaving me alone out in the cold
Happening too fast for me to see
Until the day I gazed into your distant eyes
And heard everything you couldn't bear to say
And finally saw that neither of us could stay

I still don't know if you meant me harm
Stripped of my pride, completely disarmed
All that's left are echoes and whispers
Of what we shared, what we could have been
Drifting away slowly, like clouds in the sky
Until the storms melt away, and I forget the things I've seen
