fade

stumbling upon your picture
while i pack my current life
into boxes to move into another
your picture has faded with time
i remember taking the picture
of you on my bed
smiling at me
that smile...oh that smile used to claim me
it's been years since the last time we spoke
we're destined to never meet again
and i long to know where you are in this world
who you're seeing
who you're falling in love with
so much has changed during these years apart
yet still so much has stayed the same
i still write thoughtless poetry
i still hang it all out to wash
i still have my heart on my sleeve
my heart is still open for the breaking
and you're still as beautiful
as the day i took this picture
i smile and breath in
and put you into a box
to fade
a little bit more
