Pictures

Pictures are to remind you of the past.
Your past could have been a blast.
You would have wanted it to last
For a long time.
So you took the picture
To remember,
What it was that was so much fun.
The weird thing is,
I'll take a picture
Of the one I love,
But by the time they're developed,
The love has disappeared.
They're long gone.
You see the love in the picture,
In your eyes,
You can tell that they make you so very happy.
They were happy with you,
Smiling.
How do they just fade away?
The pictures never fade,
Even if you want them to.
Maybe we shouldn't take pictures
Of when we're in love,
Because when you get them back,
You'll be reminded of what you've lost,
And what you'll never have again.
Maybe this isn't true
For all of you,
But for me,
It is total honesty
Because that is how life works
With all of my photography.
