I’m here,
I’m still here.
After the last chapter,
After I read the final words,
After the movie ends.
I feel bittersweet joy,
A longing I can’t explain.
In a world not mine own,
I saw things I never saw before,
I found new things,
I met people not real,
I experienced a life not mine own.
It was my escape,
It has been my escape,
It has been my wings,
It has set me free.
I’m here,
I’m still here.
Even after the chapters end,
Even after the goodbye,
I’m still here to live.
I have never touched the sky,
I have never fell in love,
Yet I have,
Yet I have touched the sky,
And fell in love within another world.
With the dreams, the stories,
That keep my broken heart together.
Tell me a story,
Show me a story,
Give me a story to tell.
For what else can I do,
For I’m here on the sidelines,
I can’t do what you do with my own hands,
But in my dreams, in another world,
I am free, I am a shining star in the sky.
Even after losing those I called friends,
Even after losing someone dear,
Family…
I’m here,
I’m still here.
After the last chapter,
After I read the final words,
After the movie ends.
Even after the stories end,
Even after the goodbye,
I’m still here to live.
To laugh and cry,
To feel joy and pain,
To dream and hope,
To hate and give up,
To win and lose,
To love and grieve,
To do it all again and again,
To write the chapters,
Of the story I’ll leave behind.
I’m here,
I’m still here.
Even as one story ends,
Even after your gone.
I’m still here to live,
Until the last chapter,
Until I close the book.
I’m here,
I’m still here.
After the last chapter,
After I read the final words,
After the movie ends.
I feel bittersweet joy,
A longing I can’t explain.
For things I can’t explain,
For something I can’t touch or sense,
For its there yet not.
It was here before you left,
Its still here now.
I’m still here,
To write the story,
To live…
I’m still here;
