Where We Were

Where We Were
I'm trying not to wreck
These pictures I'm looking at
So much depth in each one
Holds a river that comes flowing back
Paper and color are held together
By a moment in time
Each one's a life now revealed
The voices and the laughter
We thought we'd get what we were after
Now these pictures are all that's left
Of where we were
I'm reminded of what was back then
And what will never be again
These people have all moved on
Few things work out as planned.
Now my eyes are blurry
Half from weariness - half from tears
I've got to put these pictures away
As I fall asleep I can still hear.
Where we were
