The night which has last past
I remembered the "once upon a time"
As my eyes focused on a photo of you
In all your beauty and past life greatness
As I read a handful of scribbled notes
Where your wittiness had made me smile
In those days where smiling was often
But as I read them for a time again
I couldn't hold back tears and lost it
I promised back then you'd never be alone
When I should've swam to shore and saved myself
Instead of drowning in feelings that've never gone away
Yet, as soon as the drawer shut
Nostalgia had released it's firm grip
The past is unchanging which I've come to learn
But the now is still hurting
