Photographer Sweetheart by Jest Magdaleno Romanillos

I want to have a photographer sweetheart.
I want her to have me photographed
Every single time i smile,
So i will have the memories of my life.
Also when I’m sad,
So that i can laugh at the bitterness on my face
When I’m already fine.
Or any shots she will like
As long as it is me,
For the sake of my own vanity,
The vanity I don’t have the courage to express
Because I am shy and does care
About the opinions and criticisms of the society.
And I know she’ll be there taking photographs
Because she won’t judge me.
She will love every piece of me;
My picture and my vanity,
For the first time I will feel
That someone supports me,
That I deserve to be in history,
That the world needs to know me,
And the significance of my story;
In which today i don’t.
Not yet but maybe someday,
When I meet the woman,
With a care with the exposure,
And can tweak the aperture,
And can correctly time the speed of the shutter,
Who can photograph the things that matter.
I will love her because she loves me,
She would capture my moments of ups and downs,
She will always be there to record the scene,
And that will always remind me I am human;
As I am slowly becoming a monster.
But I know, when the time comes
She will flash away the demons inside me,
And I will love her fully;
So instead I will take pictures of her for me
Because she will be more important than me.
