Pictures and Memories

I came across that old picture today and it brought tears to my eyes

It reminded me of what we used to have

We used to be a tight knit group; completely inseparable

Now I've been replaced and you don't even think of me

There's an old saying that says:

"Keep the picture. They never change. The people in them do."

How much we've all changed

I used to think you'd all be in my wedding

Now I know that that won't happen

We drifted apart, we all took different paths

Or rather, I took a different path while you all stayed on the same one together

You left me here

Now I just have the pictures

And the memories

"Keep the picture. They never change. The people in them do."

It's sad how true this is.
