(A/N: Read this slowly and with emotion and there are some links for the music in the description.)

When my heart

          resounded within my soul

I saw the rift collapse

          forming into a road

When my heart

          lifted into the sky

I knew it would

          be alright

     

Calling out the sadness that stayed within the mind

Leaving behind emptiness filling you inside

Of love that bound our ties and

Of gentle warmth that we had

My memories of you won’t fade for me

But life still goes on though I still believe

I pray until the day

I will face you again

To where you have gone

I’ll try to stay strong

 

When my heart

          resounded within my soul

I saw the rift collapse

          forming into a road

When my heart

          lifted into the sky

I knew it would

          be alright

 

Seeking comfort to relieve the ceaseless pain

The sun shines but in your inner world it rains

As if it was an ordeal

As if it was not real

Every time I recall a scene of you

I silently shake with grief anew

Though I am still mourning

I have to keep going

I know you’re with me

You will always be

 

 When my heart

          resounded within my soul

I saw the rift collapse

          forming into a road

When my heart

          lifted into the sky

I knew it would

          be alright

 

 

 

[Update2: Here is the file with me singing: Piano&vocal The song was supposed to be a little higher and a tiny bit faster than this but I don't know how to change it correctly. My singing isn't too good but this is just so you can hear how it should approximately sound.]

[Edit2: I've changed the links as I found some chords that I wanted to change.]

[Update: Here is the link for the piano accompaniment. I've got a mp3 file to listen to and a midi file for anyone who is curious about the notes I've used: Mp3Midi]

[Edit: I will upload some piano music for this soon that I made with a midi sequencer to show the basic background melody. And maybe - just maybe - I will also sing the song, so that you can hear how it sounds. (Though my voice isn't the best...)]

This song is supposed to express the pain over a lost one and yet having to go on and overcome the pain but... I'm not quite sure how to explain this as I wrote this with the flow of my feelings instead of thinking too much about it. As for the author's note at the beginning, that's because this is a slow song that should be sung with lots of emotion. The text may seem short, but the slow singing makes it long (it took over three minutes to sing this). I wasn't too sure of what title to take but something like "Crossroad of partings" or "Overcoming grief" might be too long, so I settled for "Crossroad".
