A Love That Was Lost

I have a shoebox filled with old photos The way it used to be Is now just a memory I have to hide it from myself Because I know I’ll get lost in my imagination When I wake up and you’re not there I close my eyes again When it all started I thought I have found my best friend You were the love of my life Now we have both moved on You with your life Me with mine I wonder if you ever think of us How it used to be Instead you have her And he has me If we could do it all again I think I’d rather keep you as a friend When did we lose our connection? How did our love burn out? We were each other’s everything Nothing could stop us Now we don’t even speak I can’t say I blame you This love took a toll on both of us Somehow we lost each other in this cold world.
