Internal Photograph Poem by Erika Wingo

Give me your hand
Follow me
To where you and I still exist in memories
Long since passed
Yet far from forgotten
It's as if only a moment ago...
We Were

Close your eyes
Imagine
Awakening within a dream
That never ends
The paths that our emotions paved
As clear as crystal footprints
In the sand
Let's sink deep into one another
Until we can no longer define ourselves
Like we used to
When there was simply...
Us

Let's hold each other
As though today is our only tomorrow
Listen to our heart's beating
Somewhere in between us
Not knowing if it's day or night
In the world around us
Sweet oblivion will carry us away
To a past that keeps us
Like a photograph...
Still in love and forever unchanged
