• It’s been almost a year, up to the very day
    And it’s funny, but I don’t really know what to say
    So many laughs you’ve brought me, so many tears
    These memories are sure to last me through my years

    And I look back from time to time
    Wondering if I’d have changed my mind
    If I would take it all back, just to say
    That I’m glad things didn’t turn out this way

    Your caring heart, impassioned eyes
    Calloused hands, always reaching for the sky
    A head that’s often lost in the clouds
    And the truth you’ve always kept in a shroud

    So much love to give, so many hearts to woo
    I was one of many that you knew
    And even though your heart had bled
    It was mine that broke, instead

    It took so long for the clouds to part
    To finally see this brand new start
    For love had opened its arms, once again, to me
    So warm and caring, and as vast as the sea

    I’ve learned to love, and I’ve learned its pain
    I’ve finally learned how to dance in the rain
    And I’ve found the earth, which carries my dreams
    I’ve found the sky, much vaster than it seems

    I wish not of spite, I harbor no hate
    My only desire is for your blissful fate
    A life where you achieve all you had wished
    A life with your love, those lips you have kissed

    It’s only now I can finally see
    These changes had come to bring a new me
    And can finally accept what you will be
    Is simply this: One fond memory.
