Still

And when I'm drunk it all comes back to me:
Your words, your love, your mesmerizing eyes.
I need you. And my heart cannot agree
We've fallen so decidedly apart.

I know that there is silence all around,
That neither you, nor me will ever break it.
But I still hear the beating of your heart.
And I still feel my own heart is aching.

There's no way back. But our past is staying.
It doesn't want to leave my craving mind.
The future holds the best. But I don't care.
I only care what I've left behind.

There's empty space if I look back at us:
You were nowhere, and I have never seen
What's really there inside your calling eyes.
But we were still together. You and me.

And now I'm broken. I'm completely lost.
I'm here, but my thoughts are still with you.
There's no bridge left to you which I could cross...
But I still hope, still wait, and still love you.
