Amy Lee

I think about you when the horses run
Never forgetting you were the sun.
Although you meant nothing to the rest
In my memories you have passed the test.

And your words were simple and your attitude strange
And your craziness never stopped to make me change.
Your real name I cannot say I know for sure
But Amy Lee is in my brain, so pure
That no taint could ever lure
And no forgetfulness could cure.

I can't say anyone else remembers you this way
And recalls your face so radiant and fair.
We would talk all night from day to day
And then you disappeared to who knows where.

And I see you in the eyes of maybe
As the strenght of every walk I take.
When I go outside and hear the babies
Who cry for mother's with no breaks.

I clutch my heart, with you in there
And I know you can't go anywhere.
Five years have not taken you away
Why should five more be able to sway?

I picture you in songs that never end
And silent nights that make me stare
Right into nothingness that never bends
And dying eyes that say "beware".

And to the end I will remember you
Until everyone thinks you're a dream.
And says, " how could this girl have been so true"
"That one day just went away, down the stream?"

I remember all your colors and the smiles you made
And the ones I returned to you until you went away.
You've been dead so long that your smile will fade
But I can't cry, I will still think of you anyway.

My brother still remembers all the nights of laughs
And the many talks with friends we had.
I just wish you could've stayed for another half
Because having to miss you leaves me sad.
