These Pictures

I sit alone here and I stare straight ahead

Never lookin away from this screen

Not because I want to stay in this frozen state,

But rather because I want to stare at you

And Although you are so far away

I still think of you each and every day

I call you on the phone constantly...

But you are never home

Am I alone?

Am I where I want to be?

Do I sit here and stare straight ahead

or Do I go along and go to bed?

I wish I could make these pictures true

Especially the one of me with you

We are standing outside your door

Sweat stained bodies pressed close together

It reminds me of that night

The one we gave eachother

It was all so special to me

I'd like to jump into this picture and do it all over agian

But instead...

I will sit here staring straight ahead

Not knowing what to do

Not forgeting that lovely day with you

It seems the sun shined its brightest just for me and you

Clouds went away at night

Just so I could see that shooting star

All along...you stared at me

Looked inside of me

You felt my everything

I gave you everything

My precious gift,

gift-wrapped and sent straight to you

No one compares to you

I gave it to only you



And then we drove to your house as to say Goodbye

I left you without a kiss

I didn't know who was looking at us

Why should I have cared?

But I took the picture anyway

More than just a memory away

I still feel you

I still love you

I still miss you



So tonight,

I think I will just sit here and stare straight ahead

At that picture perfect moment

Right after we gave eachother our very best

I will not cry, this I promise you

Instead I'll think back to that day

I will never let it slip away

I'm loving these pictures....

Author's Notes/Comments: 

To my lovely one, the one I'll never let go, the one I will think about so so often that I sometimes forget what I am doing. I wish we had more pictures together, but they will come in time with every other day I get to hold you.
