The Way We Were #1 V2

The Way We Were

I walked past the old oak tree
Where you first gave your heart to me
The swing still sways, though no one's there
But I can feel you in the air

Some say time will help you heal
But memories are what I feel

I still remember the way we were
The sound of your laugh, the warmth of your word
The nights we dreamed beneath the stars
No distance felt too wide or far
You're not just gone — you're everywhere
In every breath, in every prayer
And though the world keeps moving, sure
My heart still lives in the way we were

I found your name in an old notebook
Along with every glance you took
Little notes and doodled lines
Moments frozen in my mind

The world has changed, and I have too
But part of me stayed there with you

I still remember the way we were
Your voice like summer, soft and pure
The way you held my shaking hand
Like only you could understand
You're not just gone — you're part of me
A quiet, gentle melody
That plays in silence and in blur
A song that sings of the way we were

Even if the years grow wide
You’re the truth I hold inside
And I will carry, ever sure
A heart that beats for the way we were

Yes, I remember the way we were
Each memory like a whispered word
The love, the tears, the highs, the fall
I still hold tight to it all
You’re not just past — you’re present too
In all I am, because of you
So let this song be how I stir
The soul of us and the way we were
