A Step Away

Here I am, staring at my own palms

I feel the warmth of your hand

I thought I’d be forever by your side, protecting you

Assuming that’s what you wanted to

I had no clue, that we had nothing between us

Perhaps I was so scared to know the truth

Now that you’re gone, and yet your love is still embracing me

I’m at a loss, I need you with me

It’s like I’m drowning, as if I’ve lost the way

But you always appear as if you guide my way

I thought I could do it all, I had my confidence

But now I’m left alone with no one by my end

I knew my faults, but I pretended I didn’t know

I fear I’m not the kind of man you know

I see you smile, pretending everything is alright

But that made me feel more in misery

I don’t know where to start, there is nothing left for me

I know I’ve lost it all except the memories

When I have my chin up high, I see a glimpse of light

Like how we find the brightest star up in the sky

I now have the courage to show you there is a way

You told me silently I know what you will say

And when I search for you, I see a guiding light

It’s not so clear to me that you’re still far away

A step away
