Old Photographs

I fell in love with you,

Then I fell in love with, too,

Everything you'd ever done.

And old photographs -

They just made me love you more;

Now they have me longing for

A place I'll never hear your name.

Your past as well as you

Captured my heart, too -

Everyone you'd ever been

On your way to me.

You I couldn't know enough about.

But your life now -

I'm hurt by the smallest detail.

I read words you wrote in a diary years ago

That I loved because they were yours.

And they're now words that have me think:

"There she is" - that show me the you I miss,

Whose return I'm always waiting for.

I may not have changed as much,

But I'm not quite who I was when together we were.

For I can see I pushed for years.

I'm haunted now by every tear,

Every single tear I caused you.

For one thing I would chase you.

I'd chase you now,

I'd chase you now.
