Snapshot In My Hand

All I got is this photograph
A selected facsimile

Where do you think this picture will be
Five ten years from now
Faded and stored as a memory
Discarded or displayed to show
Someone
Maybe not even me

Does it remind you of every day
Or just that world in a frame

All I got is this photograph
With some words on the back

The color is a little less brighter
Or is that just my memory

Sometimes I wanna reach in
Sometimes I think I can reach in

Does the world revolve beyond the frame
Or stay frozen just the same

All I got is this photograph
What should I do
What should I do

Does that world evolve beyond the frame
Or stays frozen from some pain

Does every story unfold that remained
Or drifts gradually away in vain

Can you restore every motion
Relive that spontaneous emotion

All I got is this photograph
I don’t know what I feel

Something happy I guess
For that moment in the past
Captured as best it could

What else can you demand
Of a snapshot in your hand

***

Have a happy 2008.

May all your dreams come true.

(Especially if they’re of me…kidding.)
