Frozen

 

i wish that i could freeze-frame that moment

you and me together. frozen



i was the light of your life

that nothing else mattered

one thing i knew for sure



you led me by the hand from place to place

you smiled at me, i knew i was safe

never would i need to worry since you were there



now if i revisit that spot things have changed

most of those constructs no longer exist

only a few remain

so i can revisit that place if i choose to, and i have

but it's not the same



still that moment lives on forever

nothing since that you've done or have done can change it

any doubt of your love brings me back to it

making me realize the thought unfounded



life moves on and slices and dices

our ways of life simply rearrange

hairstyles are different, fashions change

but i never let go of that common thread

that binds you to me in my head

encapsulating the power of your smile

and all those words you said

as we walked along that cheap floor tile



i suppose in a way then i've freeze-framed that moment

you and me together. frozen
