The photo booth camera
Catches our smiles
Frozen in time
Our heads bent together
My hand in yours
Where it belongs...

Flash
The photo booth camera
Catches our laughter
Frozen in time
Facing each other
Grinning over something
Now long forgotten...

Flash
The photo booth camera
Catches our friendship
Frozen in time
Our playful
Personalities
I can barely remember...

Flash
The photo booth camera
Catches our kiss
Frozen in time
A last remaining
Glimpse
Of what was...

The last picture
We ever
Took together
Before I left...
Before you left me...

If I'd known then
There may have been
A frame
That showed tears...

Nine long months
Of happiness
Of love
Now seem so short
So fleeting
When put into
Perspective...

Our last date
Recorded
On a photo booth
Filmstrip
Everything preserved
Everything as it was
As it should be...

A copy for you
A copy for me
I sometimes now wonder
Where your copy could be
At the bottom of the pond?
In pieces now ash?
It's hard now to believe
What we had in the past...

Every promise I made
Still remains true
Even though yours
All quickly fell through...

In the photo booth filmstrip
Our past still shines
Still smiling...
Still loving...
A past, that I fear,
Is now lost in time...
