I tried to find a way to see you from afar
To glimpse your eyes shining like diamonds in the dark
And watch the way you turn your nose up in the air
Giving the attitude of one who doesn’t care
But I know deep beneath the layers you wear.
And when you see me you\'re reminded of a time
When we were living free and in our prime
Now here I stand with only memories to hold
Wrapped around me like newspapers of old
Turning yellow, falling gently to the ground
Where they lay waiting in the dust to be found.
How I eagerly pretend I never cared
Yet, I am always willing and feeling prepared
For what I will do and say to you
And spend all my time looking down and around
At all the memories scattered and profound
Trying to find that special one
I’ll take to my bed when I’m ready for sleep
Reminding me of a love so deep
This special remembrance I shall always keep.
