You were never mine to hold onto
your image on the flickering screen
ready to dissolve in an instant,
held only in my memory,
wanting the moment to remain
to hold on a little longer,
but it was never meant to be…
How it hurt me to press the button,
to release you back to the ether
but that was the term, the condition,
for that moment, that instant,
to see you as you were then,
when that image was captured
when I asked, but I do not know...
