The photo

by MAYBE TOMORROW   Jan 10, 2005


Rummaging through scrapbooks
searching for your ghost
hoping to remove all
the things i wanted most

found a shot of you and i
oh i wont forget the date
but when i saw what it meant to me
i guess it was to late

i went through every album
saw every picture with your smile
and finally found the photo
i hadn't seen for quite awhile

it was the picture you had given me
after spending one great year together
and on the back was a dedication
that read ill love you now until forever

i figured this was the problem
that kept me up so late at night
and once i had disposed of it
everything would be alright

as i held that picture to my chest
i knew it was time to let you go
i felt that was what i wanted
but i wouldn't let it show

stared at the ashes of your photo
and the conclusion that i drew
the picture wasn't my problem
its that I'm still in love with you

id love to hear what you guys think about my work so please comment or send me some mail :) its all appreciated
