We were never in our pictures, <br />Though our smiles were frozen fast: <br />It was the flutter of a shutter- <br />And you knew it'd never last. <br /> <br />All our dreams ended at daylight, <br />And real life took over then; <br />Though the past was fading fast- <br />We could still remember when. <br /> <br />You can go back to the photos; <br />You can see the people there- <br />But they're ghosts, who lost the most <br />Of themselves, into thin air.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/into-thin-air/
