Photos

I scroll my phone

I don’t usually do this though

But I was bored to my bones

Then I found those old photos

They were taken in May

And now is the season where leaves fall

Four months long isn’t long

But the leaves, I no longer see them falling

I looked at those prepared smiles

Different background, different poses

Reminding me of the thousand miles

and the meaningless dramas

Some of us were broken

Some of us didn’t want to admit

Some of us were doing alright

Some of us tried to do what’s right

Now, you’ve been patched

They've paused lying

She keeps being alright

And I, I am still trying

When I see the photos

I know changes come close

I still wear the same clothes

But time flows; we all know

I looked at those prepared smiles

Different background, different poses

Reminding me of the time we shared for a while

That we promise to keep through the ages
