Faded But Forever V2

Faded But Forever

I saw your name on an old school wall,
Time has passed, but I still recall.
The way you smiled, the way you'd stay,
Even when the world turned grey.

The swing still moves at the edge of June,
I hear your voice in every tune.
The places change, but not my view,
They're colored by the light of you.

You’re the memory that won’t let go,
The echo underneath the snow.
Faded now, but still so clear,
Like whispers only I can hear.
Gone from sight, but never severed—
You're faded... but you're forever.

The old oak tree, it’s taller now,
But I still sit beneath its bough.
I trace our names, carved side by side,
A love that distance couldn't hide.

I don’t replay the pain or end,
I just relive where we began.
Even if you’ve moved away,
You live in every yesterday.

You’re the memory that won’t let go,
A part of me the world won’t know.
You’re the hush before I sleep,
The promise that my heart will keep.
Gone from touch, but lost never—
You're faded... but you're forever.
