Beautiful Picture

by l t b   Oct 30, 2005


I'm looking at each picture carefully, reminiscing about the past. Then I get my hands on a picture that catches my eye. There was a young couple in it, a girl and a guy. They were in a river together while posing for the picture. Then I realize I've met them before as I look closer. The girl was grinning from ear to ear. The guy looking at her with love in hes heart. It seemed like nothing could ever tear them apart. They seem so much in love and they looked so vibrant and young. They were probably splashing each other and having fun . But is that happiness still around? Of course not. Its gone. Since that time, they've married, had three wonderful kids, divorced, and moved on. Knowing this made tears fall form my eyes thinking there Had been a time where they were happy. I run to the bathroom, tears flowing out. Then I look in the mirror and I see. I see how much I look like her. I have her eyes, her smile, her facial structure. I wonder if I would ever be as pretty as her. Knowing she was so beautiful in the picture. I go back out, put the picture away thinking I'll look at it another time. And I know it will be one of the things I will always think of. Someday I'll look at this picture again, remembering that they were once in love.
