V - Here

Here

Valentine's Day, at least it's five months later;
The date just made me think of you
And sooner or later I'll be in tears tonight,
Five months ago I would've cried them to you,
But someone else just called me an angel
You see I'm moving on, at least trying to forget you
But you're
Here,
Like a signature in my skin,
A memory carved into my heart,
You'll always be a part of who I am now,
Of the girl you made me
Yes, you left your mark,
There's a shadow of you in my smile,
The man who still makes me laugh
Over the telephone,
Though it's been a while since I've seen you
There's a reminder of you in my blood,
You're still part of every adrenaline rush
'Cos you'll always be
Here,
Your presence still hovers near,
I still turn to you in my sleep,
My body forgetting you're not right there next to me,
You're still dear,
Still here,
Five months after Valentine's Day.
