Poem Title:
Poem
I continue to try and convince myself That by keeping the pictures from my past I'm not still holding on to a love I once knew But tonight sitting here all alone I took one last look but to my surprise It wasn't love I saw looking back at me It was just an old memory Of the girl I used to be All the places I'd been And people I spent my time with In that single moment I came to see That I didn't have to forget my past In order to be able to move on with my life Still sometimes those pictures I keep hid Can make me feel things I know I shouldn't feel But I'm old enough now To know none of that is real 1,000 memories with you Forgotten photographs It's all a part of my past I tried so hard to fight Only to find I never really needed to What I felt when I was with you Was as real as it could've ever been But that love came and went And we both moved on with our lives I used to see it as such a crime To remember you And the way you made me feel But now that I'm grown I think back to that time and place And now when I do I smile We were young, dumb, and in love We had so much fun For so long we were the best of friends I think back to the trips we took All the new places we got to see Driving around with your hand in mine Even if those pictures where long gone In my heart and in my mind I can see it all as if it were just the other day A time in my life I don't think I'll forget Some things may fade away But I doubt your memory ever will And that's ok with me It'll be a story to tell til the end of time Bring a good laugh or two Because since then I've come to find It all made me who I am today And when I look back on my life I couldn't imagine not having those stories to tell So for now all those pictures of the past I'll tuck them all away Wait for a rainy day To bring them out again To see the story they can tell Of the girl I used to be And laugh about all those old memories Hidden away in old forgotten photographs!!!
