For you.

And I know you’ve slipped away,

as you’re vanished from my sight;

But I will love you forever anyway.

You hold her close as you sway,

whispering sweet nothings in the night,

and I know you’ve slipped away.

My soul’s been left to decay,

my heart is squeezed too tight,

but I will love you forever anyway.

You get on one knee to say

you are hers alone tonight,

and I know you’ve slipped away.

As I lay here upon this shore today,

I have crafted my soundless plight,

But I will love you forever anyway.

So as she walks down the alleyway,

she is dressed in the purest of white.

And I know you’ve slipped away,

but I will love you forever anyway.
