Your picture that I've carried

For years now it has been…

Fell out onto the floor,

And those memories stirred within.

“Who is that?” someone asked me,

As they saw the teardrops flow.

I stood there trying to answer,

"It's just someone I used to know"

I was your world…. You were mine

Our love was like a song

Each day a new beginning

For a love that was so strong.

Your picture I still carry

With me every where I go,

The tears are just reminders

Of someone I used to know.

Life goes on, or so I'm told

And memories someday fade,

But your picture I shall always keep,

Even though it's dulled and gray.

Nothing will dull my memories though

Of a love… so strong and true,

 Though no longer here beside me,

I must start my life anew.

I’ll tuck your picture, back inside

Try not to let tears show,

For the memories that I carry,

For someone I used to know.
