I was there

Tell them I was not lost

I may have sometimes lost my place

But I was not lost

I was there



Tell them I was a complete person

I may have seen life from a different angle

But no parts were missing 

I was there



Tell them I felt love

I felt kindness

And I saw beauty

I was there



Tell them I remembered

I may not have recognized the face they came to wear

But I remembered my love for them

And if they say she was lost to me

Tell them nonetheless I was there



Tell them not to be afraid

They did not lose me

They will not lose themselves

We will be there
