Dark Photo

I should take a photo,
Of you in a dark space,
Because your eyes would sparkle,
And light up the place.
I would take that picture,
Everywhere I go,
To remind me of you,
No matter rain or snow.
You don’t know who I am, but
Everyone knows who you are,
So I can’t take that photo,
Even if I was a photographer.
One day you’ll meet a girl,
And I’ll be sitting in a park,
Wishing I took a photo,
Of you in the dark.
