While I Remain

I take this morning with a change of heart

I take this morning and make a brand new start

It was such a short while we were apart

You speak of change while I remain

The chance of love for evermore

I thought had come up to my door

You said your feelings were just the same

Now you talk of change while I remain

This part of you I did not know

I kissed your face and watched you go

If there was something it did not show

Seems while you changed I still remained

I should have tried to stay by you

I did not go, oh how I wanted to

How could I see this rock so grave

That lay below your deep blue wave

This rock of change while I remain

So short a time, so big the change

So quick the sting, so slow the pain

Though life we shared I'll try to start again

But what I loved is gone while I remain

I curse the day I kissed your flame

Now what I loved so much is gone while I remain
