Old pictures

We are together just an arms reach away. His hand outstretched a spider ring showing. A plastic sword shoved into his belt loop, a bright pink and orange. I stand beside him. A gold and white dress dawned over a blue shirt. My pink heart glasses covering my eyes and a flower purse caught in my mouth.  We stop in the middle of our game to pose to pose for the world.

We stand now miles apart but then come close in a hug. His hand longer dawns a spider ring but still points out, a diploma in his hand. It will replace the sword on his belt. In just a matter of months, a gown will take the place of my white and gold dress. Then far away we will go down a similar path that will lead us different ways. But I hope that we will still stop in the middle of our game to pose for the world.
