Every Once in a While

I re-open the letter you sent me,
Filled with joy,
And hope,
And promises,
And love.
I remember the words that
Once rang true in your heart.
Every once in a while
I pull out the old photo
Of you and me together.
Two faces filled with laughter,
Eyes only for each other.
Every once in a while I remember,I used to be the man in that picture,With you.
