archiving stills

i’m looking at these photos she took

three, almost four years ago

can’t tell 

if she was particularly good at photography

if the camera was particularly flattering

if she aged me

time has simply passed

and i wish i took the time to go through these photos myself

there are not many, but a few

where i am actually smiling

lots where i am trying so hard to be sexy

trying so hard to be serious

when i was mostly surrounded by completely unserious people

can’t help but cry when i see a flash of teeth
