My Heart's Still There

Beautiful face, sorrow filled heart
A string of hope so far apart
A hint of fear inside your voice
As everyone applauds rejoiced

Cameras flashed in brilliant light
Your soft smiles, oh such a sight
A clear of your throat, it was time
I tear so sadly, you were once mine

The paper shakes, trembling hands
You speak but no one understands
"My mother," you say, "cannot be here"
"Cancer has took her life last year"

My heart ached in deepened pain
As I watched, my soul cried in vain
So badly I wanted to cradle your fear
And promise I am always here

Graduating students bowed heads down
Parents looked sorry and frowned
Your heart felt speech touched every soul
But not like mine, no not at all

As you spoke I remembered the day
Your mother left; she passed away
You flash some smiles to the crowd
"But still I know that she is proud."

I clap for you, because so am I
My love for you has never died
The news came when I was with you
We both couldn't handle the truth

A simple phone call proved it right
I remember it; horrible night
In screaming tears you walked away
I tried, but had nothing to say

Soon afterwards, your love was gone
I let you leave, let you move on
"So many people I realize care"
"And thank you all for being there"

Of beautiful words that was the end
I glanced at you, my angel sent
My glorious hero in these eyes
Though to you my face now has no sight

You hugged your girl, she cried in joy
I cried in sorrow, sad, annoyed
The crowd was lively, they all cheered
But no not me, I only teared

Silently I whispered a farewell
The words I spoke not one could tell
I miss her so much; I miss you too
Since long my heart still lies you
