sometimes it feels as though it was just yesterday.

other times it feels like forever ago.

seeing myself in the reflection of the crystal-like body.

how hard it is to hold that cute yet cool pose without grinning,

until i get lost in the beauty of the water.

the wind blows my hair and covers my face synced to the camera’s shutter.

And despite their annoyance,

 i can’t help but break character.

it feels as though it was just yesterday.

seeing our smiles in the photo.

the beautiful second attempt.

seeing the gorgeous sunset in the background;

lilac married to a glowing tangerine,

with lines of crimson echoing throughout.

The same crimson that our eyes reflected with pure happiness.

the most fun day ever.

it feels like forever ago.

(then I got that dreaded phone call.

the one i was supposed to be distracting myself from.)

it feels like forever ago,

when the sun finally set and i plunged into darkness.

but when i close my eyes on this bed,

i see a similar light.

Like before the sun had set.

it feels as though it was just yesterday,

when i finally got up,

and walked towards that light.

and the angels took me home.
