Everything Stays.

Let's go in the garden | You'll find something waiting

Coming home hasn't been easy since you've left.
I know it's not your fault. I'm working on moving forward, and I hope you can see it.

Right there where you left it | Lying upside down

I decided to plant some flowers, coworkers told me that a change of scenery should help. Do you think the roses would be prettier red or white? I can't tell.

When you finally find it | You'll see how it's faded

While I was making room for their new home, I saw something shine in the distance. Do you know what it was?

The underside is lighter | When you turn it around

The necklace you always wore! The strands seemed so much darker, and the metal used to look better. A little clean up should work.

Everything stays | Right where you left it

Time seemed to move so slow, when you first left us. It felt like a nightmare, y'know. If you were here, I wonder how much faster things would've moved?

Everything stays | But it still changes

Days seemed slower than winter nights, but now they move so much faster. I've enjoyed laughing again. Do you think I've made progress with my life?

Ever so slightly | Daily and nightly

I repainted the walls, this place seems so much brighter. New frames for the photos, this place has people in and out of it again.
Isn't that nice?

In little ways | When everything stays

The pictures are correctly faced, the yards are filled with flowers, are you proud of our home?

I hope so.
