I love the breeze of the ocean waves and the crackles of the leaves from the palm trees, 

though, I never intended to be deserted on my own.

I adore the thought of privacy and the chance to explore deep thoughts,

but, this is not a place I wish to stay and grow.

As the number of sunsets and sunrises increase my hope begins to weaken,

I just want to hear the voices of the ones I miss.

I'd give anything to have my loved ones by my side encouraging me to hold on,

they're the only ones who could save me from this empty abyss.

They've always been there for me and picked me up every time that I fell,

they believed in me when I didn't believe in myself.

They were the reason why I wanted to do better in life and make it far,

every single one of their pictures is hanging in my heart on a shelf.

So, if I could bring anything on this island, anything at all,

it would be a photo of my family the ones who built me strong.

I can't bring all of them here because I can only bring one,

and every single one of them have all pushed me along.

So, I would choose a group photo of my whole family,

the ones who've been by my side.

The thought of seeing them again would give me hope,

it would give me a reason to try.

So, a photo is what I would take if I was deserted on an island alone,

a picture of my family is all I want.

It may not be a cell phone or journal,

but it's something that would always give me a reason to stay strong.
