It’s not fair

To tell someone (after the fact):

That you thought that’d be the person you would marry,

Why wait until after,

Tell them in the moment,

Or don’t tell them at all.

That’s not fair,

And not true.

Otherwise you would have said it earlier.

And maybe I would have told you I thought the same,

And maybe we wouldn’t be where we are now.

But who is that really on?

Wishyouwerehere

When I say wish you were here,

It’s because I really wish you were.

I stare out this window and see the water,

And imagine you waking up next to me.

And I imagine waking up everyday to a smile on your face as you look outside.

Eyes half squinted from the sun beaming in.

You love the view as much as I love the view of you.

I see the dock that I’ve only begun to rebuild and you sitting on it, journaling as you look out onto the water.

Out the other window is a broken sail boat,

I can see us fixing it up,

And taking it out on those days where the water reflects like glass.

The calm breeze glides across your body and wisps your hair across your sunglasses.

You look so happy.

How did I get to your dream place before you?

It feels like I did.

Maybe it’s really my dream place, but the only thing missing is you.

That’s what I mean by “wish you were here”

Remember when...

Everywhere I go, Camera hanging from my neck. Waiting for the perfect shot, The perfect memory, To capture. “It’s not just a hobby, but a passion,” As most people would say. It’s an attempt to hold on to the memories That will only exist in the photo thereafter. Capturing the children, so innocent, And the adults who have lost that virtue of infancy. Showing life from 2 different perspectives With so many more being possible. It’s taking an ordinary object And putting my own special twist on it. Each photo showing insight into its subject, And for that brief moment Capturing its soul and revealing its true emotions. It’s not just a photograph, It’s not just art, It’s what I’m experiencing the moment the shutter clicks. The photograph of the girl staring off into space, That leaves you wondering, “What is she thinking?” The photograph of the two-year-old child gently holding her newborn brother, Whom years later she’d be fighting with over the remote. The photograph of a child observing a spider in its web, Finding it so interesting and exciting. And the mother cautiously standing overhead, Because she knows the real menace of it. The photograph of the two little girls, Arms around each other’s shoulders, Who at age seven were inseparable, But by high school had different groups of friends and never talked. The photograph of teenagers gathering around the campfire, The last summer before they head off to college And go their separate ways in life. And in the end all there is Is a photograph of me. With my camera still around my neck In a room filled with photo albums of my life’s acquaintances; The only memories that I have of them and my adolescent freedom. And in the middle of the wall hangs a single picture. The one of the girl staring into space, And her thoughts still remain a mystery. For as Ansel Adams once said, "A true photograph need not be explained, Nor can it be contained in words."

I wish I could save my money from work for a whole year then quit my job and just go take pictures of what's happening everywhere but here

No matter what I do....

I’m going to lose someone. I’m going to lose friends.

Why do I have to chose? Why are you making me? I thought I could make it work. Everyone keeps telling me that I’m wrong. Everyone keeps telling me it’s her loss.

No one seems to get what I’m losing, on top of losing my mind.
