Photographs and Memories- Jason Reeves

I keep your picture by my bed for when I'm feeling sad and I don't know why I would be.
The way your smile looks so real I feel like I could start to understand your grace.
But I don't understand why you're not here with me.
And I don't even wanna know where else you'd be.

'Cause I have photographs and memories
of the times when you weren't on my mind and I wasn't alone.
And I have poetry and drawings of my life
when you were by my side and I didn't know
just what is love?

Writing moments on the wall with different colors
keeps my mind away from missing you.
And I can't wait to fall asleep to slip into my dreams
where we can dance upon a star.
And I will be as patient as a girl in love could ever be
'cause I don't feel like I was real until you were a part of me.

I need your smile, I need your eyes, I need you, dear.
And every line on your face males a beautiful maze
for my eyes to trace

But I have photographs and memories of the times
when you weren't on my mind and I wasn't alone.
And I have poetry and drawings of my life
when you were by my side and I didn't know
just what is love?
