When the pieces settle

At some point I heard your song again 
And I didn’t cry
Or even notice that I didn’t 
Until I realized I sang the harmony
But the melody was missing

You nod your head in passing
And we walk our separate ways
But I remember you February fondly
Blue sweater silver sunglasses 
And I smile

And you come looking for me 
In the snow and 
I hardly see you there 
And you want to say hello 
So we stand outside hair whiter by the moment
Until I drive away

Time heals all and covers up the love that once was there 
But your voice on the phone brings it back in a moment 
Your voice and your name take me back to the time when it was just you and me and a million stars 
Dancing under a full moon in the valley
Swaying and turning like time 
But I stop and remember it’s over 
Remembering’s not realistic
And I hang up and go about my day 

Next year will be better now that I’ve let you go 
Next year will be easier when I don’t feel it anymore 
If it comes back it’s yours they say
But I don’t want it to be that way  

I let you go but I’m the one who’s gone
