I sit, staring as I hold it in my hands
The photograph
The last remaining physical thing of us
As I stare I think,
While I think, images and memories
Flood my mind,
And suddenly there you are.
You're running towards me
And before I know it
I've received the greatest hug.
You had me.
That was all it took.
It wasn't long after, we shared a kiss
Perhaps the greatest.
Then you disappeared.
And you'll never know
What it feels like
To have your heart ripped open
Such as mine, believing it was my fault.
But then the phone rings
And my eyes widen
In amazement, in delight to hear your voice
For the first time in weeks.
Alas,
A small distance seemed insurmountable
And it ended.
Now months later, I stare at us-at you.
That smile, those eyes, that happiness between us.
I'd never have known it was fake.
And as these memories and feelings come back,
My hands start to shake until

Never again.
