i'm the one now

i’m the one now
but the past is alive
you are still affected
it will never be denied

a painting on the wall
pictures and words
your children feel it
will i ever be heard?

i can’t change the past
i need to be the strong one
wishing upon a memory
pretending there are none

did he loved you like i do now?
i’m not trying to take his place
it’s his heart i can’t replace

the things we do on our own
do they make us stronger
or make one other feel alone

i see your memories
from another long time
that was your once life
is there room for mine?
