All I have are photographs
Snapshots of your life
The thought of every photo missed
Cuts me like a knife
All I have are videos
A handful of MP4
Glimpses of a smile, or tear
Fixed memories of before
All I have are written words
In the journal which we kept
To be a gift on your eighteenth
Each day captured whilst you slept
All I have are a few toys
And some of your favourite clothes
Only used for a few short weeks
Now in a memory box it goes
All I have are memories
Which over time will start to fade
So for now I hold them tightly
Remembering them being made
All I have is paperwork
Dates and notes and facts
Measures to show that you were here
But not what your life impacts
All I have is love for you
Which grows stronger every day
Even though you’re no longer here
I still feel you in some way
No matter what I gain or lose
No matter what I think or do
For every moment left in life
All I’ll want is you
