I thought about you again today
And I realized that I never
Threw you away
I still hold all the things about you
Here inside my heart
Like a scrapbook of memories
That I put together part by part
I sorted through the pages
With pictures of you an I
In some we are laughing
And in others we cry
I love them all so dear
But I tore them all in two
Because it’s just too hard
To keep these feelings of you
I dusted out the pages
Of the dried petals that remained
I kept them so that I could
Still have flowers when it rained
And all they did was remind me
Of just how good you were
And I thought for a moment
Maybe one day you’ll leave her…
But I keep forgetting
And my mind is getting off track
I’m supposed to be getting rid of you
And never looking back
I threw away the sample
Of your cologne that I had
That sweet smell of purity
That never could go bad
I threw away the snip of a wing
From the butterflies you once gave
And how every time I saw you
They flapped their wings in rage
I threw away the kisses
That you blew me when you left
I kept so many of them
Because they were always the best
And emptied out all my pages
And left them all bare
But someway, somehow
I still felt you there
A little piece of you remained
In a small and thoughtful way
But I didn’t get rid of that
because i still hope you'll come back one day..
