After Biding You Farewell
After biding you farewell
I raised my hopes and assured my thoughts
That I would see you again
I stood on my feet strong enough to carry
on
I faced the endless journey of my life
I set the past aside except your name
Ringing melodiouse bells in my head
I went away with it
Unsettled in some city
I kept your shadow right next to me
I pictured this,I pictured that and us
Giggling to our teenage stories
I couldn't let it go so I lived with it
After biding you farewell
I went on to meet new men and women
I went on to make new memories
But I kept failing to erase the old ones
Your figure in the midnights
Your shadow in the midday
Always there scaring the lonely part out of
me
After biding you farewell
I Stood at the entry gates of my life
I looked closely into the future
I saw you arms open and big smiles
Singing your way back to us in the early
days
I gave my every step closer to you
After biding you farewell
I realised I just did the same to my future
And I needed to reunite
