Pictures and Memories

Going through pictures,

the moments, the laughs.

Going through memories,

when I sat on your lap.

 

I captured a moment,

who we were back then.

Wasn't long ago,

but I remember when.

 

The exact moment in time,

when my finger hit the button.

Who we were then,

it seems to be forgotten.

 

I'm tired of moving on,

I just want to stay still.

Be me, as I am, forever,

I'm wishing with all my will.

 

I don't wanna grow up,

don't wanna lose this.

Who we all used to be,

it's something I truely miss.

 

Back then, back when,

we were loving and laughing.

University was far away,

life seemed like a simple thing.

 

But now, I'm struggling,

school, social life, work and sleep.

Seems we can only ever have,

one, two, maybe three.

 

And as we grow up , get older,

things are constantly at change.

People grow up,

and sometimes feelings fade.

 

I hate change,

and I only wish it would stop.

But it doesn't matter,

what I wish, what I want.

 

Because life is going to keep moving,

and I just have to hold on.

Look at this picture and memory,

and accept that it's gone.
