I Never Left

I was right there

When you thought I had left

I never left

I was engulfed in a form I couldn\'t dare ...

 

I wanted to press back a tear in your eyes

I wanted to tell you I will never leave ...

I could not imagine another person to love

As you claimed, I have left you ...(in tears)

 

I wanted to comfort you in my arms

I wanted to wipe away tears from your eyes

I wanted to plant an assuring kiss on your cheek

I wanted to whisper in your ear, \"girl, you are so lucky\"

 

I wanted to make you laugh

As I used to

But sadness and sorrow had become your friends

That they closed valves of your attention

 

I tried to hold you

But you were like mists

I tried to talk to you

But you would not react

 

I have blocked your way many times

But you kept passing through me

I wanted to stop you from worrying about me

And tell you I never left

 

I wanted to tell you that

I shall always love you

I shall always be by your side (no matter what)

That I will never leave you (alone)

 

I still wanted to be your guardian angel

I did not want to lose you

Though you thought you had lost me

I still wanted to protect you

 

I never left 

But everything have completely changed

I feel helpless sometimes

That all I can do is seeing you

 

I never left

I am here always

Everything changed completely

But my love for you have never changed
