Behind Poem by Galina Italyanskaya

A common photo
I stare at faces
The girl is sad and the boy is smiling
Some former date to betray the place of
That sudden meeting
It's all behind

I keep this moment, my priceless treasure
You won't recall it
I won't forget it
It's just your job, it's someone's pleasure
It's hell for me
A chance rejected

Perhaps my dream is a kind of fiction
My fallen star
And I'm getting older
And all I've got now is that your picture
With me
Forever behind your shoulder
