THE OPEN SEE

victorm5356's profile picture-I had posted this on my instagram so thought I would share it here. I couldn't remember why I titled it THE OPEN SEE..til I re-read it. One of my memories is a beautiful girl on a bench in HS with such beauty and another named Suzanne a few years younger than I who left her mark. Another beauty imprinting another memory which is the portal of time open to see your past-got it? Only the regrets are left..
