Still I persist...

Sixteen years

It has been sixteen years today

Since I last saw your face

And not in my wildest dreams

I ever thought

I would be able to feel okay

Without You...

But here I stand

Smiling

Even as the rain hits home

Learning to love

Like I've never lost...

Even a single shard of me

Don't wait for you anymore

Because now I really know

You no longer exist...

Sixteen years

That tore through me

Left me in endless tears...

But now I persist

Stronger and braver...
