i have saved the photos
kept a hold of your clothes
i still have the receipts
of our back row cinema seats
the memories within posts
of when i was happiest the most
one thing i couldn't save
was time
i can only keep the empty bottles of wine
the memories of cigarettes in summer
the memories of yours, not just mineand i have saved all i could
saved every memory
but when i think back, end to the start
the only thing i could not save
was the breaking of your heart
VOCÊ ESTÁ LENDO
forever, in time.
