2Short

The last time I saw you, you were glowing You had all your shiny teeth showing You laughed at every word I said to you You stole my heart and you know it You held up a Polaroid camera You said it would help me remember I still keep it tacked up in the corner of my mirror When I need to see somebody glowing It's too short It's too short Photographs, memories Loves that live in me They're too small They're too short I'm alone and I'm thinking How all of the birds could be people The cardinal that circles the yard The tourists flap their towels at the seagulls Wherever you pointed your camera Whatever you put down in words Could never come close to your likeness It just falls short
