Annie Ning - Just One More Step

I see you sitting there,
Under your favorite tree.
I hope and hope with all my heart,
That you still remember me.
I left you many years ago
But you weren't supposed to know,
That I was always here for you 
I just never said 'Hello'
I heard you crying every night,
A sound that broke my heart.
You should've known that I loved you,
That it would've hurt too much to part.
I was the sunshine that danced with you,
The footsteps in the dew.
I was the wind that guided you,
That helped you to break through-
That wall you said you never could,
But you did in the end.
I was always in the shadows,
Always just around the bend.
If you'd just taken one little step away,
From the comfort zone you're too used to
You would've known that I was there,
Always there, for YOU.
Instead you stayed where you thought you belonged,
Filled with endless sorrow,
When all along you could've controlled 
The way you saw Tomorrow.
