Fortunate

I have this picture inside my head
Hands so cold, face so still
Can’t be you, cause you’re not dead
Tears I hold, heart I seal
Frozen now in memory
Close my eyes so I can see

chorus
How fortunate, how fortunate am I
Time seals the cut
The wound that bleeds me dry
How fortunate, how fortunate am I
Love heals the cut
The memories take me high

I have this dream, and you’re not dead
Smile so bold, full of will
Must be you, you’re in my head
Life I told, love I feel
Flowing now in memory
Close my eyes and now I see

Repeat chorus

How fortunate, how fortunate
Flowing now in memory
Close my eyes and now I see
How fortunate…
Song I wrote awhile ago about healing after loss...

I would love to hear the melody that goes with this. I got goosebumps just reading it. It captures recovering from grief very well.
