I still remember that night
We stood by the bed
Your arms wrapped tightly around my waist
And you told me not to go
I still remember the feel of you lips
Brushing lightly over my skin
You whispered so softly..

"I'll always love you"

And I still remember
Staring into the stars
Wishing on the brightest one
A thousand wishes I made for you
And I watched as the darkness gave way
As the stars disappeared in the new dawn
The sky filled with life
And I smiled at the sunrise
Welcoming another day with you

But I still remember the day
My heart froze inside my chest
Its coldness numbing me until it melted away
And I was left with nothing
I still remember the look on your face
The tear that fell from your eye
As I whispered so softly..

"I am so sorry"

And I still remember thinking
Trying so hard to convince myself
I'd done the right thing
But deep down I knew that nothing would be right again
I stared into the stars
And made one last wish for you
I just wanted you to be happy
I turned my back as the sky lightened and the sun began to rise
I couldn't stand to see its beauty

I still remember everything
Every second I ever spent with you
The way you smiled and the way you cried
And every agonizing moment since I left
I still remember the lights of that city
The way they shone like the stars
And seemed to whisper so softly..

"You can never go back"

And I still remember the burn
Of the tears rolling down my cheek
As your voice echoed in my mind
But the words are meaningless, forgotten emotions
The sky seems so much darker now
And there is no star to grant my wish
As the morning draws closer I can't help but wonder
When all that you had to wake up for is gone
Why does the sun still rise?
