You're Immortal in my mind

if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

[...]

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

[...]

You used to captivate me

By your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

(Evanescence, in "My Immortal")

Please tell me: are you really gone?
