Springing Back

I looked outside my window
And saw that spring was here.
I was hidden inside my sorrow,
Never knew that it was near.

Could it be that life goes on,
And I will go on, too?
I'd come to think the world was gone,
That it had left with you.

It's not that I don't love you
Or that I no longer care,
But it's time to start my life anew,
For spring is in the air.
