I Only See You In Pictures

I heard you hit a glitch today,
I don’t know if it is true, it’s just hear say.
Back then you used to tell me everything
Tell me I’m the only one who you could confide in
But now I only wonder how you doing.
I only see you……..
Yes, I only see you in pictures. 

I heard you were being promiscuous 
I don’t know if it’s true it’s just hear say.
Clubbing uncontrollably, some even call you a typical ****.
It hurts me,
But now I only wonder how you really doing.
I only see you………
I only see you in pictures.

I heard you had finally found a soul mate.
I don’t know if it’s true, it’s just hear say.
They say you say he loves you,
As much as you love him
I’m happy if it’s true, you deserve it.
But I always wonder how you doing.
I only see you……….
Yet I only see you in pictures. 

I heard you were pregnant.
I know it is true, for I saw you
With that little baby bump, 
You looked so happy, so fulfilled.
I was happy,
But I wonder how you doing.
I only see you………….
I saw the baby bump in pictures.

I heard you had a baby
No one knew if it was a boy or a girl.
He /she looked so precious in your arms, so beautiful I couldn't tell either.
You merged so well, 
I almost cried, could have been my god daughter.
Like we planned.
I was happy, you were happy
But I only see it……….
I saw the baby in pictures.

You might not know,
But I still care, still look back at all good times we shared.
All the dreams we had, but time my friend,
Time changes a lot, time takes away a lot.
I miss you.
But I see you………
I see you as much as I can,
Whenever I can.
And I always wonder how you doing.
But it’s alright, for I know you will be alright.
As long as I see you…..
Yes, as long as I see you in pictures.
