I’m at the Museum of Memories
The only one here
It’s a great collection of romance
The loves of yesteryear
I’m one of the leads in each story
Almost all of the endings are sad
I don’t know why some didn’t work out
Some I wish they had
I go from teary to melancholy
Occasionally, I smile instead
I don’t visit the museum very often
It’s just too hard to take
Life has moved on and I should too
This is a museum of many mistakes
Here is another broken heart
It happens to be mine
I went all out for this princess
I was her never mind
This one I let get away
Boy was I wrong
Now she lives far away
All that remains is our song
Over here is the dear
She still comes around
Even though I led her on
I lost what we had found
What I did was wrong
It’s time to leave now
I can’t take it anymore
So much pain and heartache
Truth from the days of yore
No one else can visit, only me
Usually I do so when I need a dose of reality
