I’m picturing our future together
and all I see is painted smiles;
love’s silhouette was captured
and transferred to my face.
You make me so happy
just for being in the picture,
for being there for me
when my memory was fading.
Your love comes across
the embossed, glossy paper;
it bleeds through the sheet
and takes away life’s negatives.
You cropped the darkness from my life
and snipped my jagged edges;
you made me shine through
despite the shades of regret in my past.
