THE PICTURE IN THE DRAWER

by Cletus Hardiman - Sagittarius

Her picture's in the drawer
I know, I put it there,
I don't know what made me do it,
all I know is I still care
I can almost feel the velvet 
of the dress she wore that day,
and, her picture's in the drawer
I guess, I'll let it stay.

I talked to the drawer
and it said that it was fine...
to leave it there indefinitely,
to try and get her off my mind.
But, It's been a long, long time now,
and I love her just as much,
and the picture's in the drawer,
If I want to hold and touch !

It's lonely here without her...
God knows how much I care,
and the picture in the drawer
is not like her being there.
But, I get some form of comfort
just to know that it's in there,
Yes, the picture's in the drawer,
But, I'll guess, I'll leave it there.
