A Photograph of Time that You Lost


You think

that you can make that time up, 
and
make it alive
again.

Take the photographs
but 
ignore the moment
as it is
actually
happening.

The sad thing is
that
you never get it back.

You can have your photographs, 
and 
look at the people in their romantic, rose coloured glasses. 

Loss disguised as memories.

I hope 
someday
you learn to appreciate 
the moment-the gift,

and not just the photograph.

  1. LOVE this. I loved the line about taking the photographs but ignoring the moment as it is actually happening. We too often do that, don't we? I am guilty of that a lot.
