To the one I loved

To the one I loved

A Poem by Roxanne Mckyla
"

A love of mine left me and refused to let me wait their return. No matter how true I was, it didn't help.

"

I pulled out old pictures today

As I looked down at your face

I shed a tear that fell so softly

Whatever happened to us

The love we had

Where did you go my love

Without you I'm crushed Cuz I miss your face

Your smile and the sounds you'd make

I miss your laugh

And all the love we shared

Now I'm standing here

Staring at a picture of your face

We used to be special

Have something no one could break

But one day

And earthquake would shake

And I'd lose your hand

You would leave me behind

With a hope that you'd be back

A final kiss on my lips

And a wave good-bye

I was left to cry in the middle of the road

Now all I've got is a picture of your face

We used to have so much fun

We would laugh and cry together

Making it through both heaven and hell

Cuz in your arms

I was happy

Now you're gone

And I'm left alone

With a picture of your face

I can't find a love like our’s

Even though you said I should move on

No one's arms are the same

Now I'm broken and alone

Crying over a picture of you

Do you still think of me

Love me the same

Do you still feel my kiss on your lips

My hand in your's

Or my heart in your hands

Cuz I still have that picture of you

Wow, how I've missed you

And still love you after this long

Will I ever see you again

Cuz my love is a mess without your's

I can't see you

Even with your picture in my hands

I miss the way we were

The way the world was

I could face anything

If you were at my side

Now I have to go through life

All on my own

It feels harder

And I've wanted to quit

But it was your picture

That put hope back in my heart

Now if I only could make a wish

I'd wish our paths back together

And not just our lips locked forever

In a picture by my heart
