Sitting here I’m frozen in your warm, steady glance,
For eyes so tender and sweet they hold me here in a sinister trance,
I never thought it possible that I’d ever see you again,
Left with only a memory and what could have been,
Caught in this moment my body sits stagnant here,
Taking in the memory of a time I hold so dear,
I would give anything to sit like this for as long as I live,
I’m tired of wondering what I could have changed, I have nothing left to give,
I let out a sigh as I get to my feet,
An obvious sign of another defeat,
I walk to the light switch and look up at the bulb, shaky in the fixture,
As I remind myself, it was only a picture.
