The flash goes off, and this moment is forever.
The happy smiles, and cheerful faces.
how no one knows whats going on behind them

The shutter blinks and they are forever caught in time.
These two young kids, and the feelings(?) they share.
no one hears the thoughts behind glass eyes.
The glazed over, statuesque fools.

The click of the camera and they will forever regret,
being seen together,
lying to each other with every breath
standing together.

Looking through these pages
reminds them of the cost
and everything they lost
like each other

Others last
and even more fall
they never share whats on their minds
so how can it have worked?

(when the pictures change when you're not looking)

And maybe there will come a day
when no more tears will be shed
but that's another album
with another set of memories

Left in the silence of the pages
listening to the sounds
of the echos
of the laughter
the tears of joy
the moments together.

When the cover closes,
this is just another chapter
of the book of life.
But these two lives
will never cross again.

Everyone has a shelf full of albums
the ones they look through daily
the ones they bury under dust
the ones they show off
the ones they hide in the back

I used to think I knew what I was waiting for
(I don't think that anymore)

I guess I'll sit around,
looking through these dusty pages
and mend this broken heart.
