Gone but never far

April 21st, a shadow fell,

A day that took a part of me as well.

You were my light, my closest friend,

But time won’t let me hold you again.

December 9th, the pain returned,

The day my world was left to burn.

My father’s love, his guiding hand,

Now echoes in the silent land.

But you're not gone, you're in the sky,

In every star, in every light.

Through the wind, I hear your name,

Gone in time, but here the same.

I carry you, I hold you near,

In every smile, in every tear.

The nights are long, but I still dream,

I hear your voice, it speaks to me.

A whispered laugh, a memory bright,

A touch of love in the quiet night.

If I could turn the hands of time,

I’d walk with you just one more mile.

But in my heart, you live, you stay,

Guiding me along the way.

But you're not gone, you're in the sky,

In every star, in every light.

Through the wind, I hear your name,

Gone in time, but here the same.

I carry you, I hold you near,

In every smile, in every tear.

So I’ll keep walking, step by step,

With all your love inside my chest.

Not a goodbye, just ‘til we meet,

Beyond the stars, where souls still speak.
