Snapshot

For a little while I felt you
Warm kisses like sunlit spring afternoons
I realized you were attainable
That for a moment you appeared before me
Dressed in the stars of heaven
Brightly you bought a smile to my frowned lips
I didn’t need to reminisce
When I held you
Pocketful of beach sand
I squeezed til there was no more
And then it came
The snapshot of yesterday
The vivid clamor of hurts
I withdrew into the habitual
Pointed fingers back at you
And didn’t want to accept
That such a thing be true
And that it could be you
For a little while I felt you
And it’s all I will ever need
