Picture This

I have a picture
of you
in my mind
it might not
be accurate
pieced together
from separate times
made up
of whispers
tender sighs
some images
blur from view
others painfully clear
some could even be
things I wanted
to see
this picture
of you I have
in my mind

"I am living a life, i have no wish to live. How did this happen?" Unknown

It's accurate.....because it's what you see. Not what your eyes see, or will see, but what YOU see. So it's a perfect likeness, guaranteed -- until your point of view changes....

we remember
~him~
in half truths
pretty lies
things we wish
he'd been
and
sometimes
just
sometimes
in the way he
was
and
is
.

this rocks H...into my library.

Instant karma's gonna get you.
