Until This Photo Was Taken
in sadness
i gaze upon your beautiful picture
wondering what it is like over there
with you
in laughter
i see your animated face
wondering what it feels like to feel an embrace
with you
in envy
i watch you laugh and smile
wondering who’s in the background to share this moment
with you
though these feelings embrace me
with twangs of despondency and despair
i can’t help but stare at this picture
and wish I was there
it’s like being with you but…
not liking it
never thought that was possible
until this photo was taken
