a question I have to ask (poem)

I stare at her photo,
desperate for a reason to reject possibility.
Enticed by her simple beauty,
my mind swirls with a thousand fantasies.
But there is a familiarity to it – to her –
an echo of someone I once knew and loved,
a face I had never wanted to forget.
I contemplate my response, my desire:
do I truly want fulfillment,
or do I simply want something familiar?
