Your Immortal

I see the shadows where you stand alone

Every quiet night, every tear you’ve known

You whisper my name like I never left

But love, I’m more than the pain you kept

I feel your heartbeat when the world feels cold

When memories ache, when you grow so old

I never meant to become your chain

I never wanted to live as your pain

I’m not the silence in your room

I’m not the sorrow that fills the gloom

I’m every strength you don’t yet see

I’m every breath that sets you free

I’m still with you, but not in the way you cry

Not in the nights you beg the past to stay alive

I live in the light that lifts your eyes

In every moment you choose to survive

Hold me gently, then let me go

Love was never meant to stop you growing whole

Don’t be afraid of the days ahead

I’m not lost just because I’m dead

I’m in the laughter you think you betrayed

I promise joy was never a mistake

If you could see me where I am

You’d know I finally understand

Love doesn’t fade, it only bends

It learns new shapes, it never ends

I’m still with you when you dare to live

When you open your hands and learn to forgive

I’m not erased when you move on

I become the reason you stay strong

Say my name, then breathe again

You don’t lose me by choosing when

One day you’ll smile without the ache

And that will never be my fate

I’ll be proud the moment you see

That living on is loving me

I’m still with you, but now I pray

You’ll walk toward the light of another day

Carry my love, not my goodbye

Let it lift you, let it fly

I am at peace, so please be free

The best of me lives when you live fully

Close your eyes, feel what’s true

I was always love in you
