Emotions Fade In Time, Even Yours
I'm still here
And I have a life, yes
And I am happy as any one can be
Who's lost their best friend
Nothing has faded within me
And I wonder why that is
When you promised it would be so
Did you not say, "Emotions fade in time,
even yours?"
I understand only this
That I understand too little
But I do know
My heart has remained steady
And I know my spirit better now
Who tells me to stop wearing that mask
And that I should face the pain
But I am afraid
I don't know why ...
And I haven't let my Self cry lately
In fear of what I may find in those tears
And I'm asking myself only one question now
While my spirit whispers
Let yourself feel
Let yourself feel ...
