Pictures

Pictures,
I take as many as I can,
trapping moments in 2d squares,
hoping that I can save the memories,
knowing that all I'll have is a fleeting snapshot in my mind,
and a picture,
of my friends,
of my family,
of the people I love,
and I love the pictures,
I hang them on my wall,
frame them on my shelf,
add them to albums in my photos app,
I savour whatever brief sense of nostalgia I can grasp, 
then it's gone,
and all that is in front of me,
is a picture.
