Memory Box

I gaze into this box of mine
all our memories it bears
I tell myself that I'll be fine
but inside my heart tears

I stare at all the pictures
and cry over all the things
Each one means something special...
But Oh, how much it stings

I wipe away the tears,
and I wipe away the pain
Why'd you want to end this now?
we've still got lots to gain.

I wonder if you feel the same
do you love me this much, too?
You're not at fault, we're both to blame
Our breakup's overdue.

*note: This poem is about my ex-boyfriend, Gary. We were together for seven months, and it really hurts not being together anymore. He's moving to Washington in June, and we decided that breaking up then would be best... But on the 22nd he decided that he wanted to experience the 'single life' with what time he has left.. I also wrote the poem 'Stormy Eyes' for him.. About the end of February, right when I found out he was moving.. I could tell he was hurting a lot, but I couldn't even fathom how much.. Anyway, this poem is about how I have to try and get over him, but it's difficult.. And how all these things in a 'Memory Box' (there were 22 items) meant so much.. But that our relationship hadn't been doing so well lately, and that it's probably better to break up now, than to be on such bad terms with each other.. Please vote for this poem, and 'Stormy Eyes', and drop me a note! I would really appreciate it...
