I'll put it away

I'll put it away
just for now
Till I stop thinking
Why and how

I'll put it away
safe somewhere
somewhere I can't
look and stare

Away from my eyes
Away from my touch
Away so I don't
Miss you so much

If we had a picture
A photograph
Of the times we smiled
the times we laughed

I'd put it away
I put it away
Some where safe
But out of the way

Cause if I keep
you too close
A silent pain
No one knows

The letters you wrote
The notes you scribbled
Beat the lousy poetry
that I drivelled

I'll put it away for now
Todays memory
Will be yesterdays
sweet story

I'll put it away
I'll put it away
Till I'm strong enough
To face it another day
