Old Photographs

I fell in love with you,
Then I fell in love with, too,
Everything you'd ever done.
And old photographs -
They just made me love you more;
Now they have me longing for
A place I'll never hear your name.
Your past as well as you
Captured my heart, too -
Everyone you'd ever been
On your way to me.
You I couldn't know enough about.
But your life now -
I'm hurt by the smallest detail.

I read words you wrote in a diary years ago
That I loved because they were yours.
And they're now words that have me think:
"There she is" - that show me the you I miss,
Whose return I'm always waiting for.

I may not have changed as much,
But I'm not quite who I was when together we were.
For I can see I pushed for years.
I'm haunted now by every tear,
Every single tear I caused you.
For one thing I would chase you.
I'd chase you now,
I'd chase you now.
