As I put my gaze upon these tangible memories
My tears form and slowly began to fall
Because every smile that my eyes can see
Reminds me of how we started it all

It reminds me of a time lost in the shadows
It reminds me of the love we really ought to hold
It reminds me how we pushed through high and lows
It reminds me of the bond that we used to fight for

It makes my heart to break into pieces
And causes my mind to lose its focus
To see the one I really loved across the ages
Where we still have the right for the word "US"

Now it's long gone and can't be redeemed
This pain-inflicted heart will continue to bleed
Until it is dry and can't sense any feeling
Your lingering memories will always be its ending
