Smeared

Long ago we crossed

As I continued past

You are forever

In my back window

So very distant

But appearing so near

Only the best of

Your reflections show

So very clear

Making thoughts of

You enjoyable

The bad reflections smeared

But still there

They rush to the front

At the smallest scare

Of a chance meeting

In the reality of the present

Some pictures are always

Best viewed in the rear

Much more dimensional

Then they now appear

In the back window

Alongside many past reflections

That I now hold dear
