this photograph was taken from you - 2

They looked into the camera and smiled. Each mouth slightly open. Teeth bared. Eyelids crinkled. The truth in happiness. The truth in love and laughter.

But people smile for cameras all the time. And we are smiling at a camera in this one. In one instant two flashes blaze. One, your camera, capturing us as we grin at you. The other, my camera, capturing us as we smirk at you. 

I took this photograph from you. Though I am in the photograph. For it wasn't your camera taking the picture, but my camera taking the truth. From you.
