While rummaging
through my mother's
filing cabinet
for info needed
to transfer
I came across the section
for
me
papers on applications
medical records
but tucked away in the
very back
was a folder
I opened it up
curious
out dropped a picture
that made me feel much
older,
for there I stood
long hair
white tux
with Sydney
on my arm...
it was prom
I started
to cry
It's been over two years,
I think,
there is no feeling
of missing and wishing
for her
but there is for
the idea of being
wanted
