Why do these streaks of color linger?

Why do I cry at the things I remember?

Why can I reach out and feel you,

Yet you seem so far away?

 

Where did all this pain come from?

Why does it feel like this now?

Where did your hand go?

I reach and I feel you,

Yet you are so far away.

 

Why do these streaks of color linger?

Why do I cry at the things I remember?

You're here right now, you're holding my hand

But you're disappearing without a trace.

 

Why does this all hurt so bad?

You're standing right here yet you feel so distant.

You've gone away, where did you go?

 

Why do these streaks of color linger?

Pink for the laughter and blue for the tears.

Green for the grass we once laid on

Watching the yellow streaks of sun disappear.

 

Why haven't you been here lately?

You're holding my hand and laughing with me

Where have you gone?
