picture on the wall

in the mornings
from above my table
I see you looking,
your eyes steady
never wavering,
at me
And somewhere
at the back
I see me
holding you,
my arm around your neck
faces locked
into the smile
that will stay frozen
forever

I see that
and I smile
knowing that
no matter how a day might go
it will suffice to know
that one day
we had smiled
at the lens
my arm around your neck
