Pictures of you

I still look at pictures of you 

Reminiscing on the times we shared 

You consume my thoughts daily 

Especially in the quiet whispers of the night 

Nights when I can almost hear your voice 

Times when the wind blows and I can still feel your touch 

I'm blessed by time captured in pictures 

Pictures of you smiling, frowning or just there with the face of an angel 

My tears still flow, my heart still hurts 

But as you've told me don't weep or be saddened 

I'll always be with you 

You just have to pause 

When the breeze blows that's me 

When the birds chirp to wake you in the morning that's me 

When you stumble, I hope to catch you before you fall 

But I know you, you'll always remain strong 

Now as I look back at pictures 

Even now when I cry from listening to "I Look to You" by Whitney 

I'll always and forever love you 

I'll be strong 

The girls are in good hands 

We're just fine down here 

Till we meet again my love
