Today, I went looking through old photographs
And found a picture of us
I almost smiled at the memory,
But my heart still felt crushed
I remember everything like it was yesterday
As if I didn't have enough time to grow
Looking back on how happy I used to be,
I've realized that I never had let go
Your memories I still hold close to me,
The pain never really leaves when I still,
Think of how happy we used to be,
Nor do I want to walk away,
For it wouldn't be fair to see the truth,
That if I walk away everything will be alright,
Pluck after pluck of the magnolia,
A present from our departure,
I've come to realize your reason of absence
From everything: your kiss, your touch,
And your presence I have beckoned for
I call your phone but it goes to voicemail,
After the beep I hear a girl's voice,
It says we're not here, but we'll call you back,
A shard of my heart shattered and then froze,
This was just a sick nightmare, no?
This must be one since i don't want to accept it
I now know it's the words
I had spoken; they'd hurt you,
And for that reason alone, tears have fallen
In front of the steps you've taken
Away from me,
Although this painful stab will heal,
What I've done never will,
I took probably the best years from you,
And gave you a great amount of tears,
But now that I've fazed what I've done,
There's something that I wanna say,
And that is: thank you for being there,
When everyone walked away,
And said their goodbyes,
Like I'm going to do,
Now...
