Went walking in the mall where we used to walk
During the cold season.
It was the first time since you had gone,
And your footprints still glowed to me.
And I saw your face in the empty store windows.
Next to me
Shoulder to shoulder
Hand in hand
As we made our circuit around the mall.
I can still feel
When I put my arm around you
As we walked
And I pulled you to me.
My innocent,
My little one
Who needed my protection
When your world had lost
Its color, its light
And so much was grey.
I could feel, and I knew
I was your color, your light
And your connection
To this world.
So, as I walk this place
You still linger here.
Flickers of motion
Flashes of feeling,
And so much emotion.
My tears realize my pain.
Thank god something remains.
Enough to help me get through
Without you.
It's difficult to come back here.
