It's been a year since you are gone
Leaving behind a castle of memories
I visit the castle to meet you
When the weight of the world pulls me down;
I sit, draped in your pashmina shawl
Feeling the warmth of your embrace,
I touch your belongings again and again
To feel your essence
I gaze at your photographs all day
To relive the moments spend with you.
My tears don't know how to stop
My tears don't know how to stop
Till I fall asleep in the castle of memories;
Your soul gently caresses my soul
I wake up, feeling unburdened.
It's true you are not here
But I can feel you close to me;
Your memories are inked in my heart
And you are just a thought away
As a guardian angel, you look after me
And you are just a thought away
As a guardian angel, you look after me
And teach me that love is stronger than death.
