Pictures

when i can't see you
you're always near
back-right pocket
i keep you there
safely hidden
for all those times
when nothing else at all
can get me by
billfold out
deep inside
amongst id and credit cards
i reach in
to pull out
a thousand words of photo-art
wallet-sized
never been
ripped
or torn
or bent the least
i take good care of you
you mean so much to me
pictures of you and i
they always make me smile
even at the worst of moments
they're always what i seek
whenever i get weak
they keep my head up
and my heart unbroken
hair is flowing
eyes and smile
jump off the paper
and over miles
to bring you to me
almost for real
no matter where i am
or how i feel
billfold out
deep inside
amongst id and credit cards
i reach in
to pull out
a thousand words of photo-art
wallet-sized
never been ripped
or torn
or bent the least
i take good care of you
you mean so much to me
pictures of you and i
they always make me smile
even at the worst of moments
they're always what i seek
whenever i get weak
they keep my head up and my heart unbroken
it's so hard spending time away
even short hours much less a day
i might as well tear up my love
because we've been together
nobody knows me better
without you
i'll know i'm done
i'm done
pictures of you and i
they always make me smile
even at the worst of moments
they're always what i seek
whenever i get weak
they keep my head up and my heart unbroken
