Dressed in black

Dressed in black
with a rose in my hand
i now understand
that i kept you
for as long as i could
it's time to let go
i stared
into your watery eyes
as you wandered into the light
i watched
though my eyelids were closed
as my memory captured the sight
i'm breathing
though a part of me died
it doesn't seem right
i'm standing
as life lingers on
it's time to move on
i stared
into your watery eyes
as you wandered into the light
i watched
though my eyelids were closed
as my memory captured the sight
one day
with a rose in my hand
i'll see you again
