When you're not next to me

The flowers keep blooming And the sun is still shining How can that be When you're not next to me The waves are crashing The wind is still blowing The robins are singing The stars are still gleaming But you're not next to me The trees should be withered away The sun should not rise The canyons should crumble down to dust But the world keeps going on Even when you're not next to me

Yes but when you were together they were that much more brilliant. Perhaps the memory of that can sustain you? This piece is my favourite so far.

Thank you so much! The memories of the sky, the stars, everything before seemed more brilliant- you are correct about that.
