This Ring Around My Finger

While packing away a few of your things Ifelt may cause my heart misery I realized how hard it was to stow away the memories The life we had together Is impossible to erase the past with memories lying around for a lonely heart to grasp Spots on the dresser where makeup use to set A row of empty hangers haunt your side of the closet Dust filled drawers in your favorite chest An untouched pillow next to mine where your head use to rest This ring around my finger where the ring you placed,use to be All the ache in my heart is far to much for me While packing away these things i recalled the first time we met When we were young and shy did'nt know where life would take us yet Growing older and deeper in love we decided on a summer day to be wed Our parents felt we were a bit to young wait a spell they said We replied no way,we'll make it last even though we did everything right I now stand alone staring at this ring around my finger In the shadows of our past
