I Took A Picture

This is what it is - whatever that may be…which I just don't know!

=====================================================

I took a picture
when I seen you standing there
this beauty, my angel
you're just a girl with dark hair.

A long line, while we stood in the rain
I had nothing to lose
what more could I gain
so I searched the rooftops
for a steeple to climb
but all I found were the shadows
of Rembrandts remains.

I took a picture
so close to my heart
a fading memory, for the day we depart
when the light around the corner
began to bend and a man in a grey coat
jumped the line, while a wife and two
children stood by.

When I look back
and up the secret annex of stairs
there were two girls standing there
and only one was 15.

I tried to take a picture
but I wasn’t allowed anymore
what else could I do
but close the doors to my eyes
so I could remember you.
