[Verse 1] I walked where the trees lean close and kind, Down the path we carved in another time. The moss still soft beneath my feet, Like the words you spoke—quiet and sweet. A bluebell bows where you once stood, The hush of leaves still feels like good. I whispered your name to the listening air, The wind replied like you were there. [Chorus] And I said, “Are you near me still?” As the rain fell soft on the windowsill. You didn’t speak, but I felt you stay, In the rustle, in the rain, in the gentle sway. We walk together, though you're unseen— Through every flower, and in between. [Verse 2] A wooden post stands weather-worn, Like my heart, since the day I mourned. But even sorrow has a song, And it’s in this place we both belong. I leave a petal where your hand once lay, A promise folded into day. Though I go on, I’m not alone— This forest knows the way back home. [Chorus] And I said, “Are you near me still?” As the rain fell soft on the windowsill. You didn’t speak, but I felt you stay, In the rustle, in the rain, in the gentle sway. We walk together, though you're unseen— Through every flower, and in between. [Outro] So if I smile as I walk this land, Know it’s ‘cause I still hold your hand.
