I can't just move on,
I can't leave this behind,
There are too many people, who are left on in photographs,
People that I never thought I would forget,
But still did anyways,
People whose names I can't even remember now as I look through the album's pages,
I can't embrace the future and forget my past,
Forget the people who have made me, who I am,
What I am proud to have become with there help,
I have grown so much because of you,
But still I have stayed the same,
I have become stronger,
Become better at dealing with myself and others,
All with your help,
And all the others before you,
And as I have forgotten them,
I am afraid of losing you,
I embraced change so much that it hurts,
I forgot who helped me,
And as of late,
Have only now realized who it was that has been helping me,
Those of you, who stood beside me,
Those who criticized me,
But only to my face,
And for my benefit.

I have no problem with change,
I still know it has its place,
But if life is a journey,
And the scenery is what counts,
How can I leave you behind?
How can I let you become one more face in a picture?
Even if it is a name I will remember,
I don't want pictures,
I want my friends.

I want your support in my life,
Through the changes that are coming,
But I don't want you to leave my side,
Because you are afraid that I will be held back,
You have only helped me down the road so far,
Why would that change now…

Not everything changes.

I change all the time,
But my love hasn't,
That's why I will not let you become a picture.
