Do you not know what you do to me?
Do I have to write this down because it means so much to me?
Do I have to write this down because you race through my mind all day and all night?

Would I have you in my bed if I didn’t love you?
Would I talk to you for hours on end if I didn’t love you?
Would you think I wouldn’t love you if you were depressed and poor?

Could I answer that question for you now?
I had so many emotions pent up inside, I had you racing through my mind
I had trouble concentrating, I felt like I was going crazy
Why would I think of you so much?
I just need to clarify things for you.
I wonder to myself, how could you think I don’t love you by now?

You are not just a boy that I need by my side.
You are not just a toy that I want to play with for now.
You are not just something that I want there.
You are something that I really care about.

And if you do not recognize this by this day forward.
Then you are not the one that I can love.

You are not the one that can pull me through.
You are not the supportive one that I need.
Just someone I can be a friend to.

I do not want my heartbroken
I just want to clarify my feelings with you.
And if we cannot agree that we feel the same way.
Then, I am not the one for you.

The shutter closes
Snap
A second in time is caught
The sight of a wave about to smash on the beach
Snap
A moment frozen for all to see
A hummingbird in flight, wings held still, colors a glow
Snap
A memory in solid form, to hold dear when memories fade away
A father’s face, a mother’s smile, a grandmother’s tear
Snap
A soul is caught and held
Faces haunt the eyes, centuries after death
Snap
Horror, terror, fear are embodied
Bodies cover the ground after battle. Buildings fall in slow motion
Snap
No denying, No lying; only truth shows up in the lens
Snap
Time, moments, seconds, memories, emotions slide through the kaleidoscope
Snap, Snap, Snap
