The girls walked through the mazes of rides

They never went on any

But just the choice of so many

Was enough for none

No they wanted more

She

The one people called perfect

Each time she pretended

She wanted the courage

To be brave enough to ask her

She

With brown coils cut short

With scissors she had used one to many times

She wanted she wanted what her heart thought was impossible

She just ne...

I think its pretty obvious

Where this prompt is going

I mean seriously, you know me better than anyone,

Where would my mind be wandering?

So I’m the girl

And you’re the friend

And I know I said we’re platonic soulmates

But what if I want more than that?

What if our 6pm calls are not enough?

What if sitting across from you is not enough?

What if our stupid inside jokes are not enough?

What if I do...

I remember that moment

Your face twisted in surprise

Frozen on the film

Below it your angry

Then your gone

But the worst part

I still haven’t forgiven myself

And those memories refuse to lock themselves away

So the photo sits on my desktop

The moment our friendship ended

Frozen in time...

As the Photo Booth flashesher friend suddenly goes, I gotta tell you a secret you may not like it and there was another flash. I really got to tell you the secret to my friend. Now it’s not the time this is my wedding night....

The timing, objectively,

Could have been better,

But I couldn’t deny her,

In that dark green sweater

Fondness so deep,

My love grew and grew,

Like a fresh lily flower,

After watching you bloom,

Which is why I whispered,

The truth in the booth,

I cannot contain it no more,

The hiding was moot,

Your face, jaw dropped, and camera snapped

Is the best sight I’ll never give back

Because that ph...

first

a girl with hands on her jaw

from a boy that she loves

they are cracked and they

peel on his fingertips

and melt because

he is holding his version

of the sun

second

bodies flush back to back

hands held down and out of picture

he smiles while looking back

straining his pretty brown eyes

she laughs and looks away

at the mountains or walls

she wishes she could keep up

with him

third

now she...

**First Picture on the Strip:**

****

She looks shyly at my eyes. I look confused, hands perched upon my lap. Her mouth is open as if she is speaking. God, I hate that hair.

**Second Picture on the Strip:**

****

My eyes are wide and I have one hand clasped over my mouth. Her mouth has dropped open as if she was probably yelling. I just sit there in awe. God, I hate that makeup.

**Third Picture on...

Shutter, click, flash,

One smiles, the other wrings their hands.

Shutter, click, flash,

One is crying now, the other listens.

Shutter, click, flash,

Head-to-head, heart to heart,

They're both crying now.

Shutter, click, flash,

Two photo strips abandoned at the booth....

Four little photos

Shot in white and black

Four little photos

Forever looking back.

What were the whispers

Said in confidence?

Something long forgotten

Not remembered hence?

Or whispers of conspiracy

Nefarious plot?

Or maybe a confession,

“Girl, I think he’s hot!”?

Two girls in a photo booth

Whispering a tale

The eyes revealing everything

The photos never fail.

They remind the girls

Of how life ...

We get in the photo booth.

The countdown from three.

My heart beating so fast.

You smile cutely.

The first flash flies by.

I force myself not to backdown.

I hype up myself.

It's time for the showdown.

I turn your face towards mine.

The second flash goes by.

You stare at me with those deep green eyes.

I take a quick breath.

Then press your perfect lips onto mine.

The third flash has already been do...
