Photographs

While looking at these smiling faces,
I can’t help but miss these days
And I am reminded of the empty space
somewhere in my heart
that used to be yours.

After many sad, unsolved cold cases
(the culprit moved on, old love got lost)
all of us are still here, but that might just
be the one single thing that hasn’t changed
Not heartbreaking, but a tragedy nevertheless

Lost friends, lost smiles
a few untold lies
Lost feelings, lost cause
it’s what time does
to all of us

Photographs can’t change what happened,
but they’re still memories
and memories made you the way
you currently are and will be.
