I'm Still Here

As the leaves are falling,
Still I am sitting,
Waiting, wondering.
Why are you gone?
Who was really wrong?

The sun setting on the horizon
Gives a glimmer of hope,
Reflecting on the water's edge
Onto the auburn leaves above my head.

This world seems so cold,
With winter's chill on my back.
Do you remember these days,
Or have they faded to black?

Spring is coming,
Life blooming anew.
But no amount of tears
Can bring me back to you.

With summer's heat ahead
And spring still in your step,
I worry myself again;
How many more years until you remember my death?
