The Photograph

This morning I told you I loved you
and how you made me feel,
I told you how much I missed you
and that my feeling for you were real.
I told you how I felt you
in my dreams again last night,
How I melted into you
as you held me oh so tight.
I told you about the children
I hoped we'd have one day,
And how sorry I was about the one we lost
but you had no words to say.
I told you that a love like ours
was so precious and so rare,
And still you said nothing
I wonder if you care.
I told you I met someone else
and he reminds me of you,
And although it breaks my heart
I know what I must do.
I told you the time had finally come
to go our separate ways,
Unless of course you said the words
to make me want to stay.
I begged you with all my heart
to say what I wanted to hear,
To tell me you'd always love me
and you'd always be near.
So when you still said nothing
and with my heart heavy with sadness and gloom,
I slowly put your photo back on the shelf
and moved to another room.
