Images of You (A Love Letter)

By K.A. Smith

By K.A. SmithPublished 6 months ago 1 min read

Thanks to the camera, I saw you the same way.... in an image. Tried to stand in the way, but the camera owns. Only serves me and you—
Curses of photography.
I see cameras who want you. I want to capture, protect, and follow. So, they just go!
That's my nature. If I dare to use it—
Now, I'm blind, and hopefully, I'll be able to see again—
me and you.
I hope to see again—
in my mind, my heart, my soul.
I, old-fashioned, still long to feel skin!
Write on it, a manner unpoisonous.

To A.,

Beloved, the past is not old-fashioned or blind.
It’s alive in every frame, in every "image of us" together.
Us, a sparkle in the sea.
