You’re still there in my camera roll
Frozen smile, but I feel cold
Tried a hundred times, I swear
But my thumb stops, can’t delete you there
Is it love or just a glitch?
My heart lingers where I don’t click
One small frame, too hard to lose
I keep what I’m scared to choose
Delete that photo, that’s what I say
But I scroll past it every day
Your eyes still look at me that way
Guess I’m not ready… not today
We look so happy, perfect light
Caught between the wrong and right
I crop you out, but there you stay
In pixels I can’t throw away
All my friends say, “Just let go”
But memories don’t work like code
One last tap and you’d be gone
So why do I keep holding on?
Delete that photo, that’s what I say
But I scroll past it every day
Your laugh still echoes in that frame
Guess I’m still learning how to change
Maybe one day, I’ll press erase
And finally make a little space
But till I do, you’ll live in view
A quiet ghost in faded blue
Delete that photo, maybe someday
When missing you fades all the way
Until then, it stays right here
A tiny piece of yesteryear
