Different Places
Why do photos make me sad
When the person has moved on
Many people look at them
Good memories flood
And smiles begin
Me, I get a slight small smile
And then a tear forms in my eye
For I will never see them again
And that for me, it is the end
All those images that prompt good memories
I’d rather not be reminded
I don’t know if this makes me odd
Or negative or lost
I can remember them just fine
In talking, thinking and in my mind
It is the images I see of them
That trigger sadness in the end
It is not the memories and the laughter
The stories, high-jinx or the here-after
But simply the sight of their smiling faces
That hits home to me,
They are in different places.
