That Person in the Picture.
I wonder if you ever stared at my picture.
The one on the wall that if you sit in one spot you have a perfect view of.
The same spot where I've sat countless times before.
The same room where the picture was taken to begin with.
I wonder if you ever stared at my picture.
Looking at my smile and the bright pink leggings I was wearing.
Where I looked more like a highlighter compared to a person.
I wonder if you ever stared at my picture.
I wonder if you ever looked up at it.
Noticing it for the first time or most recent.
I wonder if you ever stared at my picture got lost in it like I stared at yours.
Noticing your fake smile when your real one was all teeth.
Wearing the light blue hoodie I've seen you in countless times before. (It was one of my favorites.)
I wonder if you ever stared at my picture long enough to get lost in it.
As I did yours.
~E, equal treatment.
