PICTURES OF YOU

PICTURES OF YOU

When I see the pictures of you,

I see a beautiful woman with shades of a girl I once knew,

Your spirit always ran care free,

I admired and adored your individuality,

It set you apart,

And nestled its way into my heart,

Where I’ve always held it to this day,

You show me a smile and I’ll show you a way,

To leave the realm of those whose hearts are broken,

I too know what it’s like to have a heart shattered by mere words spoken,

Friend to friend, their ignorance is their loss,

There’s a whole world waiting for you to sail across,

If not literally, metaphorically speaking I say,

Love dares us to run to it, so find your way,

I will always be here should you need me,

You count on me if ever to vent need be,

I am always open and as long as there’s a breath in me, I’m here for you,

Someday I hope to be closer than pictures of a beautiful woman with shades of a girl I once knew…
