I’ll know that I’ve lost you
When I have nothing left to say
When I’ve stared at your picture for so long
That the colors turned to gray
Oh stranger, how could it be
That love turned black and white
Fading silently into just
The sweet dreams I’ll have tonight
My last hope, that’s what you were
I’d only draw a heart around one name
Now all that’s left is words and regret
So I’ll scribble with the heart you’ve drained
All familiarity fades
I forget once more, the color of your eyes
The lines around your smile
We let our friendship die
Children make promises growing up
I shouldn’t blame you for moving on
Leaving me behind, you took a separate path
And now everything I once loved about you is gone
One day, this will be our fate
You will forget me, if you haven’t already
I’d save us, but I’m always too late
You found another to replace me
You reminded me what I was capable of feeling
But I’ll keep under my pillow what I am dreaming of
Photograph of a stranger
And the small trace left of my first love
Greatly inspired (but not entirely for...) Joe
