Ever Since You Got Me Janet Kuypers (01/24/12) I’ve been hanging here ever since you got me when the two of you were first happy every once in a while one of you looks at me reflects on what it was like and I think you smile then I sit here now looking out at your world seeing how you live now and I wonder because I don’t think you notice it but I see the changes of how you live now I don’t think you’re unhappy I can tell you’re not really happy, but I don’t think you’re about to end your life or anything but as I was saying, though I can’t see much from where I’m at, I don’t think you’re unhappy, but you don’t seem to have the same pep in your step I think the both of you have lost something I only know this because... look at me, I know what you looked like then your faces, and your happiness is burned into me forever you two are holding each other and beaming with happiness like the whole world’s ahead of you wait... is that it? is it that life is passing you by? I mean, I think I understand, I know I am fading with each passing year but I look at you two walking around, like you’re drones now, going through the motions, not looking like life is in your hands they way you did when you created me.   (this is a poem about a wedding photo)
