Today I looked into my mirror, but instead of seeing my reflection
My gaze instead slowly wandered over to our picture’s direction
First thing I saw was your smiling face, and when I looked beside
I quickly noticed I too was smiling, which caught me by surprise
It seems impossible for me to be able to smile at all these days
But then again, everything’s hard for me since we parted ways
The smiling girl I saw next to you almost seemed like an illusion
Because seeing you there only brings back memories and confusion
I still don’t know how it happened, but I do know that you left
And I happen to see that picture every time I finally begin to forget
I know that I should put it away in a box, maybe tear it into shreds
But I can’t seem to convince myself this is where our story ends
I’m still living in that picture, where your arms hold me close
And it’s always days like this that I miss those arms the most
When I see that smiling girl, held so lovingly in your embrace
I look away…only to see those familiar tears roll down my face.
