Old shoebox filled with faded dreams  
Polaroids capturing moments in between  
Your smile frozen in a summer day  
Colors softened as time slips away  
Fingerprints on corners slightly bent  
Marking places where our hearts once went  
These snapshots hold more than just the scene  
They carry feelings of what could have been  
Memories in polaroids, time standing still  
Fragments of stories that give me a thrill  
Memories in polaroids, feelings preserved  
Moments of love that we both deserved  
Let these pictures tell our tale  
Let the memories prevail  
In this collection of moments captured  
Finding peace in what we fractured  
Beach days with sunlight in your hair  
Evening concerts when we didn't care  
About tomorrow or what might come next  
Just living fully without context  
Road trips to places off the map  
Laughter echoing in every snap  
Simple dinners by candlelight  
Images that make the past feel right  
Memories in polaroids, time standing still  
Fragments of stories that give me a thrill  
Memories in polaroids, feelings preserved  
Moments of love that we both deserved  
Between what actually happened back then  
And how we choose to remember when  
Lives a beautiful space for healing and growth  
As time reframes what we once both  
Experienced through different eyes  
These photos become sweet white lies  
That help us make peace with what had to end  
Turning former lovers into treasured friends  
Shuffling through moments frozen in time  
Finding beauty in your smile and mine  
Understanding now what we couldn't see  
When we were too close to clearly be  
Memories in polaroids, time standing still  
Fragments of stories that give me a thrill  
Memories in polaroids, feelings preserved  
Moments of love that we both deserved  
As I close the box and set it aside  
I'm thankful for the tears I've cried  
For they've washed away the painful parts  
Leaving only beauty in my heart
