And we'd get there and then you'd hug me
And I sat on the log on the left
You sat on the one on the right
Everyday
That was how it was
Never different
Things were just the way they were

We never changed where we sat
And we never let anyone else follow us
Into the woods
We ran there
Holding hands all alone
It was like our own secret lake
A hiding place
The best escape

I'd smile and giggle
And you'd reach across the thin air separating us
And I would take your hand

For years we'd run to that lake
Day after day
Even on the weekends
I loved you that much
We never went anywhere else to talk
Even if it was raining
We'd still go to the lake
Our lake

But one day
You were holding my hand
And we sat down
You closed your eyes and sighed

You took a deep breath
And looked at me straight in the eyes
I tried to smile
But I couldn't
Not with you looking at me that way

You told me you were moving
And my heart dropped to my stomach
I turned my head away
Still holding your hand

This had been our lake forever
We'd come here for years
I never wanted to let go of your hand

Then one day I had to
It was hard to see you leave
We tried not to even lay our eyes upon each other
We knew we'd burst into tears

You got in your car
With your family and all
I saw you wave good-bye
But I couldn't wave back
I tried so hard
But I couldn't

And you pulled away
You left me
So I ran to the lake

I sat on the log on the left
And stared into the trees beyond
I swear I heard the sound of your laughter
But you weren't there

I kept running to the lake everyday
I never told anyone where I was going
It's been a year since you've left
And to this day I still hear your voice in my head

This is our lake
And I'll go there forever
You may say those past times are just memories
But trust me,
I'll never let go
