Looking through pictures is hard.

It brings back memories, some good and some bad.

But the hardest part is seeing people in them, knowing that they're now out of your life.

That's why I was upset when I stumbled across the old photos.

She was in all of them.

And I could've put the box away and gone on with my day, but I didn't.

I couldn't.

One after another, tears welled up in my eyes, and before I could rub them away, they were falling.

She wouldn't let me know what was happening, and it hurt to know that she didn't trust me anymore.

I had tried to call her, and I had even gone to her house, but no one had answered for both things.

I was on the edge of giving up, the only thing keeping me going being the fact that she needed someone.

I needed to be that person.

But I couldn't be that person.

You and me were so, so close
And maybe that's what hurts the most
It's out of my hands, I've done what I can
So I just save my breath
