in my dreams wherever they might be wherever we might be i am sitting across from you at the diner and you have this look in your eyes like you don’t know how to be around me and read the menu as i take pictures of the salt&pepper shaker, napkin holder, packets of sugar, snap snap snap snap. then i look up at you and you are still awkwardly reading the menu and i look at you through the viewfinder but that’s not quite right so i reach up and muss up your hair a bit and you look up kind of embarrassed and say what? and i look at you from the viewfinder again and expectantly you wait but when you get no response from me you go back to reading the menu and right when your head tilts back down i press down on the shutter. snap. perfect moment. perfect picture. perfect boy.
