Fix, Stop

The colours on the paper spread,
forming images.

There she is.
There she was
then.

She looks this way.
She looked that way
then.

She thinks this way.
She thought that way
then.

That smile.
It's still there.

She doesn't know.
She doesn't know what's to come.

As the images become clearer,
her smile becomes brighter.

She was smiling
then.
She is smiling
now.
