Can you

Capture my movement in its most beautiful form

Or do you, by chance, get caught in the movement, creating something even more breathtaking?

The movement of my body captured you, and your desire to capture it on the camera, creating something dark and smoky.

Like the sun, my body’s movement plays with light, creating something you never captured before.

I still feel like a piece of you got lost in that picture that day, as the smoke settled over you.

I tried to tell you something about that stage that felt off.

The light in your eyes has never shone as brightly since that day, and I wish you hadn’t taken that picture.

That haunted moment stays with you and changes how you capture movement.
