A Single Picture

I can't forget these emotions
I keep bottled up inside of me.
One picture brings them all back.
I can't forget the words we spoke,
the gentle look in his eyes,
or the sound of his voice as he sang.
Staring at a single picture
brings memory flooding back.
I can't forget his beautiful smile.
I can't forget his warm touch.
Thoughts of him invade my mind
throughout each day and night.
All I want to do is hear his voice
just one last time;
to hear him say my name
and know he still thinks of me.
He has touched my heart
and broken my soul--
made me dream once again.
The stolen moments late at night
meant nothing to him
but everything to me.
One single picture the only proof
he ever existed in my life.
What happened between us
wasn't just a dream.
He was real.
A single picture in my hand
shows the reality of my broken heart.
A single picture all I have
of the one that I love.
Though this single picture
Cannot replace the many memories
that burn within my mind.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Ahhh the journey we have taken to get where we are now. I remember the first time we dated he broke up with me. I was devastated. All I had was a single picture of us together and I missed him so much!
