Never Saying Goodbye

I still remember the light of that day

The last moments I spent with you

Before leaving with the cold afternoon

Leaving

in the air what I didn't tell you

Nine years weigh heavy in the distance

Nine black years of not feeling your warmth.

And it hurts, how it hurts not to see you again

The fog of time erasing your face I don't remember much,

and I'm killed by the fate

Of not being there when it reached you The damn guilt of

not saying goodbye Of never saying goodbye before leaving.

I search my memory for scraps,

fragments

Your voice fades away like an old sound

The silence is devouring me from within Of an empty room,

of a dry embrace I scream toward the past begging for mercy

But I only find the cruel absence.

If I could return

to that last moment

And freeze the hands of the clock I swear I would not

walk forward I would tell you

I love you,

I would give you my voice But time is a river that

does not stop

And it drags me away from what holds me up.

And it hurts, how it hurts not to see you again

The fog of time erasing your face I don't remember much,

and I'm killed by the fate

Of not being there when it reached you The damn guilt of

not saying goodbye Of never

saying goodbye before leaving. (ohhh)

Nine years without seeing you...

The forgetting is killing me.

I could never say goodbye. (bye...)
