Check Your Pockets
I gave you a picture of me so you could glance at my face now and then, keep me neatly folded and nice, rest me between your fingers when you feel alone...
I wonder sometimes, where that photograph went... is it under your bed, collecting dust? Between the pages of an unfinished book? Or even scattered beneath debris in the recycling?
I hope you kept it in your back pocket, where I last saw you tuck it, neatly folded and nice... where I'll sit, waiting until the day you rediscover me, as if we're meeting each other for the very first time again...

Fairy,
About a month ago I found a picture amongst some of my things of a girl I knew long ago. This poem made me think about the things we leave behind and how someday they may reappear when we are not expecting it. Sometimes as a reminder of what could have been or perhaps as a warm memory of what once was. Beautiful write! Conflicted if I feel this is hopeful or bittersweet. Maybe a bit of both.
As Always, thank you for sharing this.
