Frozen

In time, like a photo, you stand there with wide-open eyes and a slightly smug look.

And I wonder if you know how ridiculous you look, but in a photo, everything around you is so clear and bright, like the sun.

I can tell happy and over the moon to be free from this place where it is sometimes hard to be joyful.

But now, as I look at your face, it’s hard to look away as you’ve drawn me in like a bug to light, and I know it’s too late to look away.

I only can break eye contact when I hear the rain pouring down hard outside.

When it’s over, I look at you as you have moved next to me to watch the once dark skies turn light; I know I have found my rainbow that will get me through the many storms yet to come my way.

I see you like the beautiful sunrise in the morning that sets the right mood for my day and the sunset that ends my days at a beautiful moment.

You are a new beginning to something new that won’t end with self-sabotage because you won’t let me miss out on something more, and I am not the only one who wants this to work out this time around.
