Photo Albums
By: Noah Eaton
4/28/02

I stare at your photograph
Every morning before I go to school
And every night before I go to bed
I can't help but cry like a lovesick fool
Because I want to hold you so badly
My photo album is empty
And I dream of loving you forever
Filling our photo albums with so many happy memories

I dream every day of you and holding your hand this summer
Anxiously awaiting to hear if you can come or not
Crying to myself in darkness every time I feel scared
That you may not be able to and I may never get to have you
And my life will always feel like an empty photo album
Only filled with blurry Kodak images of my heart crying
Reflecting on how a true angel stepped into my life
Yet I could never hold you, I could never touch you lovingly

Every time I lay on my pillow
I always imagine your ghost gazing into my eyes
You wear a gorgeous smile more bright than the sun
I caress the cheek of your silhouette before you subside
I hug my pillow close to my heart trying to imagine how it feels
To hold your soft body close to mine
I can't believe I miss so much
Something I have never had yet, though I want you more than anything

I dream of seeing pictures of you and me on the beach
And us standing against Cinderella Castle in Disneyland as the fireworks spark
I dream of roller-blading with you on the boardwalk
And hugging you during your favorite artist in concert
I dream of seeing every sunset and sunrise and rainbow and butterfly
And watching Teen Witch and Sandra Bullock movies with you on every long Sunday
I dream of making up the Prom I never got to attend and dancing with you
I dream of kissing your gorgeous lips and having you forever...

I stare at your picture
Right next to my bed...
Dreaming of falling into your arms
So very much...

Noah,I am compiling 5 different photo albums right now, so this title caught my eye. Your thoughts here are so sad, and I just want to reassure you that there will be many photos for your album, and if they don't come one way, it will be another. You have so many beautiul moments ahead, I know it.

Although you are still waiting to fill those photo albums I believe that you are learning lots of lessons on how to love and be loved and I hope those albums will fill soon with beautiful pictures...James
