Time Capsule

I'm over the heartache.
We've been through for awhile now.  
In fact, it's been years since I last saw you.
I barely remember the sound of your voice.

But I saw a picture of you
with your new love the other day.
And I am reminded of everything we've lost.

Our life was supposed to be perfect.
We'd get married.
We'd buy our pineapple farm.
We'd have children.
Then we'd grow old and sip lemonade on our porch.
And we'd be in love.

We'd forever be 16-year-olds,
getting lost in a city of millions,
and kissing.
Forever kissing.

But now, you are going to marry someone else.
You're going to buy a farm without me.
You're going to have children without me.
You're going to grow old without me
and sip lemonade on your porch without me.
And we wouldn't be in love.

And I, too, will buy a farm without you.
I'm going to have children without you.
I'm going to grow old without you
and sip lemonade on my porch without you.
And we wouldn't be in love.

And I will make a thousand and one memories without you.

But every now and then,
I will see something
that will trigger the vision of you.

And I will remember,
that long ago,
we were 16-year-olds,
getting lost in a city of millions,
and kissing.
Forever kissing.
