there was always something between us
a locked screen
the highway of a thousand miles
the slamming door
one of your intangible smiles
one morning in the garden i watched you through the window
you were sitting in my chair in the living room
i watched you as you scrolled on your phone
your brow was furrowed and intent
searching for something to make sense of the news
the bright morning sun illuminating your face
you didn’t see me through the glare
i took a photo of you then
to remember you like that
in the moment beautiful and ineffable
a snapshot of a normal life
with only a pane of glass between us
