Photos.Pictures.
They trap the moment.
Sometimes I wish I had
The courage
To rip up the ones we took on
THAT DAY.
Rip them up
Like you did to my heart on
THAT DAY.
But I kinda want to remember
THAT MOMENT.
The one when we are happy.
Not the one that
Came after the pictures.
Because
THAT MOMENT
I wish I could rip up.
