Snapshot

(many thanks to bryan for nearly all the photos!)

how long can one push away tomorrow that comes

how often can we not care

that what once was a part of a thing of today

will someday come to fade

to remember all that's been said or ppl have done

seems all too far from here

looking at the snapshots of the days of our lives

i just wish that we could say

that things keep getting better

claiming that all that just don't matter

we'll hold our heads high and take a breath

head out to see what the world has to offer

we'll keep saying that things won't last forever

that we know that dust will never settle

with every sun that is setting and new days arising

all that is left will see us to the end

of friendships forged over coffee and frisbees

dancing trips to the pub

we never thought too much of all those crazy moments

singing and hiking up hills

as the minute hand moves and the tides washes out

to time that never hangs around

we'll raise those glasses to no absolutes in our lives

hands clasped on silent thoughts

we cry, we sigh

we laugh and we try

to hold onto memories of yester-years

we hope we pray

that maybe someday

all that used to be will return again

that things keep getting better

claiming that all that just don't matter

we'll hold our heads high and take a breath

head out to see what the world has to offer

we'll keep saying that things won't last forever

that we know that dust will never settle

and i know that we never see that day when it comes

when you and i will never be together

here's to you and i. :)
