Dusty corners of my memory

(wrote this when i was 15)

there's nothing but the light you give
to guide my through my darkened path
you said you would always be there
now all i have is your photograph
there was nothing but the life in your eyes
to get me through each day
how can i survive now
now that you've gone away?
i can still remember
the way you always laughed
your smile could bring me back to reality
and out of my painfull past
can you still remember
those late summer nights
you were always there
to hold me when i cried
now that you're not there for me
you belong to someone else
i've given you everything i had
never once thought about myself
now that the years are gone
they're all in our past
can't help but wonder why
i'm damned with no chance
why has my greatest fear
been brought to life
you now know all the secrets
i had always kept inside
why has the greatest feeling
brought so much regret
wish i could say the words
that have been left unsaid
it's hard to remember
why i was so afraid
i just remembered
the moment you slipped away
