Diary of a Goodbye Girl: Photograph in my Mind

In the corner of the room
Saw your image in black and white
A picture of silence
Two souls, stranger to each other

Dark skies and stormy nights
I'm a princess with a hollow heart
You came and painted yellow and green 
Started everything with hello and a laugh

You shared  your blues and reds
Suddenly the corner is dyed with rainbow 
colored memories 
For which I wish will last forever 

You tinted my inspiration of gold
Ignited the passion to live
Everyday is a treasure of images, forms and dreams

Yet season needs to change
As spring goes, so do you

My heart is now covered in ice
Colored images, now black and white
All alone in the corner of the room
Lingering your photograph in my mind.
