Captured In Ink...

Captured In Ink

I saw a photograph of a young couple the other day
They were looking into each other's eyes

There was no space between them

Innocent and unguarded

In that moment

I was so aware of where my thoughts were on the subject of love

Not jealous

Not envious

I found myself full of bittersweet thoughts

Of what I wanted

Of what I want

I found myself staring at this photograph

Sending out the thoughts

Please don’t let them lose what they’ve found

Please don’t let their innocent hearts become jaded or fearful

I found myself staring at this photograph

Wondering if I have it in me to love like that again
Knowing what I know now

Losing what I’ve lost

The thought seems so intangible

This photo made me so aware of the limbo that I’m in

Knowing that I want to

But fearing that I won’t

I tried so hard to push those thoughts away 

To realize the gift of coming across this beautiful masterpiece

That has been captured in ink

Acknowledging each and every time my words have captured you in ink

And wondering

If I’ll ever learn one day that you have captured me in ink

I try not to think of what you might think of me

But it’s hard not to wonder

If and when you are so heavy on my mind

Are those the moments that I am so heavy on yours

Knowing what I know now

Losing what I’ve lost

Through all of my insecurities and fears

I found myself staring at this photograph
Thinking of you
