When we were young ...

she was studying photography
her time away from work  
spent taking photos of  
whatever caught her eye
 
you were busy  
in the summer sun
mowing too deep grass
trimming dead branches
sun hitting skin  
gathering warmth
 
how she loved you then
in those simple moments
just watching you  
in your daily
 
you were not one  
to smile easily
but you did then
when you saw her studying you
in the shadow and the light
 
her tripod was already set up
she asked for just a minute or two
while you were kneeling on a threshold
her camera already facing  
where you were
 
she walked behind you
wrapped her arms around you
for just that moment  
her chin resting lovingly  
on his shoulder
 
the sound of the shutter
making that perceptible click
they were caught  
captured forever in that moment  
 
she was smiling
he was stoic  
his blue eyes shining  
 
we were so young
 
there are so many ways  
she could remember him
this is the only image  
she has held onto
 
faded and worn
torn at the edges
he was so beautiful  
 
then
