Fading Photographs

I recall those nights we spent together,
Holding each other close.
They say you'll only remember the bad times,
When the moments pass,
And the feelings fade

Why is it, then
That I recall those wonderful times.
Those days we spent acting like kids,
Acting the roles of us.
Pretending to be everything we are;
Everything we could ever be.

I wish I could just hit delete
On every picture,
On every memory.
I never thought I'd regret wearing that smile you gave me,
But it mocks me in each picture I see.

I remember when you were modest;
Handsome and recognizable.
Who have you become?
It's no longer like we've separated.
You've died and gone somewhere I'll see you each day.
You're dead,
Get out of my way.

Just leave me alone.
Just me and my heartache.
