Continuing
Unveiling Love's Silent Departure
Lyrics
There was something reflected inside
There was an internal reflection or emotion perceived.
Her remarkably curious eyes
Her eyes were notably inquisitive or keen.
So the shock that she felt didn't show
She didn't display the surprise she felt.
When I told her that I had to go
When he informed her of his need to depart.
She just stood there somewhere in between
She remained in a state torn between a smile and a tense situation.
A smile and an unpleasant scene
A conflict or discomfort was evident.
Then she with her back to the sun
She turned away from the sunlight.
Said, "If you think it's best, then it's done."
Expressed agreement to his decision.
Ah, but oh, it seems so cold
Despite feeling empathy, it wasn't apparent externally.
The compassion that I felt just didn't show
His caring emotions weren't visibly shown.
I haven't seen her since
They haven't met each other since then.
And there was much about our parting which seemed amiss
The farewell had unresolved aspects or felt incomplete.
For the love that I felt hadn't died
He still harbored love, but external factors prevented its expression.
But by cruel circumstances denied
Denied the chance due to unfortunate circumstances.
And her feelings and trust weren't misplaced
Her emotions and trust were justified or not misplaced.
Nor are they now in her new lover's face
Her current partner is trustworthy too.
Oh, it seems so cold
Reiterating the lack of visible compassion despite feeling it.
The compassion that I felt just didn't show
A repetition of the absence of outwardly shown empathy.
I haven't seen her since
They haven't encountered each other after the departure.
And there was much about our parting which seemed amiss
Similar to line 14, implying unresolved aspects during the separation.
For the love that I felt hadn't died
Continued presence of love, thwarted by unfortunate circumstances.
But by cruel circumstances denied
Denied the opportunity to express love due to external factors.
And her feelings and trust weren't misplaced
Her emotions and trust in the past were justified.
Nor are they now in her new lover's face
Her current partner also deserves her trust.
