The New Me

 I was going through my drawers the other day and I came across a photo

Nothing serious or special just a picture of us...

Funny because when you take a picture to it's to capture a moment

A moment you want to remember but I can't..

I can't remember that moment

Maybe the moment before and maybe the few moments after

But that exact moment..no.

Because moments before that photo was taken you said you loved me

I said I loved you too

Moments before this picture was taken I was on top of the world with you...

It feels like seconds after..
That meant nothing

It sounds so cliche but it really must of meant nothing

Because if it meant something your rip roaring poison we call words would have intoxicated me to the perfect degree

Instead I was left at the top of the world ...just me.

Intoxicated by you while you searched for a new addiction I was suffering from withdrawal and no one knew how I felt because " i just can't tell y'all"

And when you said " I love you" I loved you too indefinitely

And you were definitely supposed to love me

So that picture perfect moment is so unreal to me

That picture perfect moment

I put the picture in the back of the pile hoping that when I got back to it

I'd remember that moment.

And it's like I was hoping we could get back to those moments but you're with her and I'm with him and when we cross paths
Introductions are done again and again
Because it appears that we can't get past that moment

No one else compares and it's like you know..

So I try to smile and disguise my dismay that she may be your next me

Because I'm looking for my next you.

That picture perfect moment
I put the picture in the back of the pile hoping
that when I got back to it
I'd remember that moment.

Pictures are not just image, that all are any moment of every ones life which reminds us the beauty of your own. Beautifully done your jon dear.
