I've said this a million times to a million people, but metaphors are meant to be extended in songs. you can't just leave them at that (but you didn't make the metaphor in the first place, so it's okay)

That's a niave lie--change it.

Take a photograph but it wont be the last
Cause we'll have to much to share
And we'll make it through the things we have to do
And we'll stay strong when lifes unfair

Then our story never ends, This kind of love is so divine

Nothing really rhymes here. Sometimes it's okay for a song not to rhyme, but your meaning is too standard not to. I would recommend
this rhyming dictionary. Start working through your song and trying to fit things into place.
Before you continue though, I'd read
'Hallelujah' by Leonard Cohen and really work through it's meaning. It might help you out a bit with your lady friend here.
Another read is Jeff Tweedy's
'I'm the Man who Loves You'. He uses some interesting techniques to grab your attention to his dilemma, which is similar to yours with the exception that she left him because of his drug issues.
I hope that helps you. It's good, but still needs work
