Around Us
Alone by the candle light she thinks of him
Alone she eats a meal cooked just for one
Once upon a time he would sit opposite her
Once upon a time he would look at her
But now he watches from eyes that no longer see
But now he cries from eyes without any tears
His spirit is reaching out trying to touch her
His spirit is all that is left to remail in this reality
She senses he is still here and looking after her
She senses that his aura is all around her now
her kiss seems to others to embrace just empty air
Her kiss is felf by the soul of the man she loves still
We never see what is hidden just out of sight
We never see because we can never believe
Love never dies and will be felt always forever
Love never fades because we sense it still remains
Around us are the souls of the ones who have passed on
Around us they always will continue to live on in our hearts
