To My Camera
You see the world the way my eyes could never see it
You bring light to darkness and find beauty where it is unseen
The way your heart beats at the moment of my touch
I am sorry, I won’t always mirror,
They can never mirror
But we can all see, you are too good to me
Lying on my chest is all that you desire
And thank you, for if I truly live for me,
it is all I need
When my hair loses its color and my bones forget to grow
When I could no longer see the life that you’ve offered to me
I hope to still have your being intertwined between these feeble fingers of mine
Because your weight on my shoulders is the gravity that I need
They might not understand but
No one could fulfill those silent walks,
Could hold these memories,
Could sing my failures and successes,
Could show me clearly who I use to be
I never knew that we belonged together
But I know nothing else now
It was so sudden
They missed that subtopic in the handbook
(Part 3: This is for you.)
Your substance just fell on me,
and obviously, I am hooked
They say that I can start over, fresh
No scratches, do it all over, but
You were my first
And the romantic in me believes in death
Because given infinite choices
I would choose no other
I stand grateful my friend, my life long lover.
