The time has come and gone now Im sitting in the attic going through all the photo albums that I own Sitting here holding your picture that beautiful face staring back at me you looked so happy in the pictures that I kept there were so many of us together we were so close almost inseperable I knew everything about you and you knew all about me but I failed to see the pain that you lived in reality maybe I was in denial but you hid your feelings so well all the memories that I have of your smiling face are in the pictures I kept Here are the pictures from spring break remember Cancun we spent our days and nights out on the beach I bought at least ten of those disposable cameras and used each one you laughed at me and said that I was silly no one needed to captivate every single memory we would have plenty more but I didnt care every moment was just as important as the moment before I have your laughter in the pictures that I took your sweet sweet smile wait what is this it can’t be you look sad in this picture that you took with me you look like you are going to cry there is something wrong you look so sad is that when the pain started how come I didn’t ask you why how come I never noticed this picture before it never really crossed my mind all the memories that I have of that smiling face are in the pictures that I kept it was a sad day and they came to me for a picture of your smiling face I searched for the best one but you seem to look sad in all of them hidden behind a happy face your eyes seem to be calling out to me it's as though you wanted me to see what wasn't there how come I never noticed this before but your feelings you hid so well I guess it was to hard to tell or maybe I was in denial one last time to tell you goodbye looking at your pictures and staring into those blue eyes they were all lies these pictures that I had kept the pictures that showed your smiling face
