Photographs and Memories

So of course, since I'm in a bad mood, I thought it would be a good idea to bust out my box of photos and treasured memories. What a stupid idea.

Former friends. Dead relatives. My first love. People I don't get to see very often. Me doing goofy things my freshman year of college. Valentine's cards from people who could care less about me now. Love letters. The program from the play we saw. Ticket stubs from movies and concerts.

I can't take it. I'm going back to the couch. Forward my messages to the lump under the blanket.














Photographs and memories
Christmas cards you sent to me
All that I have are these to remember you

Memories that come at night
Take me to another time
Back to a happier day when I called you mine

But we sure had a good time when we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks; oh, how I loved you then

Summer skies and lullabies
Nights we couldn't say goodbye
And of all of the things that we knew not a dream survived

Photographs and memories
All the love you gave to me
Somehow it just can't be true that's all I've left of you

But we sure had a good time when we started way back when
Morning walks and bedroom talks; oh, how I loved you then.
