im realizing youre trying to make up for the future years
so i try to enjoy the moment and ignore the tears
but all I can think about is the lost time
struggling to stay strong, I pretend to be fine
but what am I supposed to do?
I can't get used to being with you
the deployments are driving me insane
saying goodbye for 2 years thrives my heart with pain
thinking of all things that you'll miss
my prom, my graduation, and my birthday wish
wont even be able to bring you home
ill be getting older all alone
time will go on though you're not here
you'll be brave while I live in fear

Reach for the thick spined book on the bottom shelf
That everyone has ignored,
dust off the cover and think:
what am i really doing
Because nobody ever knew until they tried...
A scrapbook
It reflects on the deepest puddles
It lightens the cracked palms of the shattered souls
It's reaching out and caressing the damages of time itself
As is father time had any say
Telling the stories you can't seem to remember
Reminding you of the ones you have forgotten
Because they say
A picture,
It's worth a thousand words.

There's something about
this darkness
that sends shivers down my spine.

Could it be the way you
turned off the lights
and held your hand in mine.

Haunted with a dreamless sleep
without you next to me.
