One Last Look

One last look at the pictures of you, I shall be done,
One last time to at these words, I swear it this once.
One last look at the way you smile, I will move on.
One last time I make these promise, I will be off.

Maybe one more time to hold on again, a little longer,
Maybe some other time for the chance, if it matters.
Maybe one last look can make me feel better,
Maybe not to look at all can put me back together.

One last look at the smile you sent me, in a frozen frame,
One last time to take a mental picture, burn it into my brain.
One last look just for good measure, in case I forget to,
One last time and it will be enough, time to bury you.

Maybe one day I will be back for you, memories of old,
Maybe the tears will fall if I missed you, as I was told.
Maybe one day you will see that I shut the door,
Maybe, oh just maybe, you would just knock.
