Analysis of The Photograph
Five orbits around the sun,
and the depth of my concern bewilders me…
It grabs at my heart with long, digging fingers.
I hoped it would abate; but I knew better.
We have passed the years through separate tunnels of time,
yet here I sit -
still caring more than I should.
But for the photograph- might I have forgotten your face?
