A Way to Survive

I look at your picture too often

It helps keep your memory alive

It's not healthy they say

To relive yesterday

But for me it's the way to survive

I must cling to what's gone

If I've to go on

I can't face the future

I've tried

Perhaps for the rest

Looking back isn't best

But for me it's the way to survive

When my heart aches

I read all your letters

And the words make our love come alive

They say I can't last

If I live in the past

But for me it's the way to survive

I must cling to what's gone...
