Black Rose Petals

I knew I lost
before we even started
Time can heal scars
but it can't erase a love
It can't make all the firsts
disappear from your mind
or the amount of time spent alone.
Nor the feeling of your hands
fingers intwertwined
as you held each other
Time can not replace
how beautiful she looked to you
and still does
or the way you walked, talked, and danced together

Yes, I am here with you now
but she was first in your heart -
and I can't compete with a memory.
