In Blue

A picture not yet taken,
Lying upon a soft flower blanket
Of baby blue
I see you.

Your smile
Makes the camera wish
To keep you forever.
I smile back.

It amazes me
How your face
Has been imprinted on my mind
Since the day we met.

Yes, I opened up my heart
Sometimes I wish for more
Control over my feelings,
As I hunger for you.

Some day I may forget,
Like deleting images,
Off a digital camera,
And your face will fade.

But today,
In this warm place
I am picturing the love
We could have made.

A picture not yet taken,
Lying upon a soft flower blanket
Of baby blue
Is how I chose to see you.
