I look at old photos of us And rather than seeing myself I see the emotion that I had Get a taste of what I once felt Feel the breath I once held I wish I could take that moment back And live there for an eternity Reliving that time seems better Than creating new memories now Ever since I tasted your sweetness All new experiences seem sour I want to surround myself with happiness But these pictures just won't do So I must burn all traces of you
Photos are a good way to savor old memories, but can also hold you back, keep you stuck in those times even once they have passed. Sometimes you need to let go, and let the memory fade away.
