Old Polaroids

My writing that was published in Ink Drift Magazine, the theme was Nostalgia.

Going through old Polaroids,

Triggered a trip down memory lane,

On a closer look,

A mini movie unfolds.

Those snaps with close friends,

All smiley and giggly,

But the eyes spoke a different story,

Somewhat shy, reserved and distant.

Friends coaxed to open up,

Time passed by,

New faces entered the picture,

Bringing with them a much needed change.

The eyes that once shied away,

Now light up with that someone special,

Slowly breaking down the walls built,

Finding true love in the end still feels like the beginning.
