Slowly fading, crumbling, deteriorating
This picture that I see
Its edges vibrantly glowing red
Destroying a distant memory.

Melting away the pain inside
Charring up your soul
Tearing up the broken words
Inflaming the one thing that made me whole.

Smoldering, kindling, slowly sputtering out
Finally showing a smile on my face at the crack of dawn
No more memories, burnt to dust
Nothing left of you to haunt me, you are forever gone.

Open field in the middle of the woods
Trees surrounding all around
Light, gentle breeze blowing
Lightning bugs shining here and there.

Clear, warm, dark night
The only light is that from the moon and stars
The smell of fresh cut grass from this mornings lawn session
Is just now being carried this way on the wind.

Laying here gazing at the stars
Wishing you were here to hold me tight
I miss you so much
If only.

I shouldn't say it
It doesn't do any good
If onlys are if onlys
Miracle's happen, but not here, and not now.

You've moved on to better things
Finally found yourself a good job
You didn't have me there to hold you back
I know that's what you were doing, refused to work because I was around.

You loved me
Just as I loved you
But that was back then
And now things have changed, drastically.

It's been a long time since I last heard from you
Four months if you want to be precise
And though I love another
My thoughts still drift off to you, every time I come back to this wonderful place.

It's been a while since I was last here
I think the last time was in the fall, when you were here with me
I can still feel your presence and smell the scent of your cologne
It's all still here, along with the pain, for this is where you let me go.

It's almost dawn now
I've sat and pondered everything all night
It's time to head back home
For there, is where my new love waits.

I won't be coming back anymore
I think last night I finally let you go
I'll never forget about this place, and the memories it holds
And I still miss you.
