Way to Survive

I look at your picture too often
It helps keep your memory alive
It's not healthy they say
To relive yesterday
But for me it's the way to survive

I must cling to what's gone
If I've to go on
I can't face the future
I've tried

Perhaps for the rest
Looking back isn't best
But for me it's the way to survive

When my heart aches
I read all your letters
And the words make our love come alive
They say I can't last
If I live in the past
But for me it's the way to survive
I must cling to what's gone...
