“Maybe it’s best if you let go,
Times change and life goes on,
Why?", she asked, “Why the hope?
Why are you still holding on?”

My eyes are wet, but I smile anyway,
And as I turn to her, this is what I say:

Because he’s the last person I think about
Every night before I fall asleep
Because every time his eyes meet mine
He sweeps me off my feet

Because his is the first face I want to see
Every morning as I open my eyes
Because I know I can’t forget his smile
Even after a million tries

Because every time I am with him
Everything else just fades to gray
And the way he says my name
Still takes my breath away

Because somehow I feel like he’s here
Whenever they play our song
Because every time we talk on the phone
Thoughts of him haunt me all night long

Because every time I hear his voice
It brings a smile to my face
Because every time I feel close to him
It takes me to my happy place

Because every time he cracks a joke
He makes me laugh like no one else can
Because all the time we spent together
I was happier than I’ve ever been

Because sometimes when I want to break down and cry
I still need to put up a false pretence
And somewhere through this hollow emptiness
I can somehow sense his presence

Because every time I feel alone and weak
I realize why I’ve held on for so long
And I look up at the sky, the stars, the moon
And I tell myself, come what may, I’ll always have the strength to hold on

Because I’ve felt a love like never before
And it made my world just seem so right
Because nobody ever says it easy
But at the end, it’s always worth the fight

Because without him standing by my side
My life is empty, incomplete
Because when I told him “I won’t let go”
It was a promise I meant to keep

Because somehow, somewhere deep inside my heart
I still believe in fate
Because someday we’ll be together forever
And I know he’s worth the wait …
