Memories Bittersweet

As I flip through the photos
In this old tin file case,
I come across these of you,
They make me stop and remember,
The memories are plentiful,
I recall the smiles
As do I the tears,
Then I remember
What came between us,
And how my life changed because,
I see the pain I experienced,
The long months of bitterness,
Then I remember the times after,
The new things I found
After I healed from the heartache,
Even though these old photographs
Will never remind you of me,
I can only remember you,
With memories bittersweet
