Picture Perfect Love

I remember a time long ago when we looked out onto a city in the same way as we are in this moment right here . All those years ago, I remember waiting in a very long line, to go up a very high tower, in a very cool city which we would only a few years later end up calling our home. I remember this day all those years ago as clearly as I remember this recent trip from only a few months ago.

I remember you were busy telling me tales of the war and why it is that everywhere I seemed to look there were buildings which were either broken down or in a state of mid repair. I remember how passionate you were about it all; how eager you were to share your knowledge with me. You're still as excited these days when you tell me a story. When you hold a particular expertise on a topic you believe I may benefit from hearing. It's so incredibly cute and adorable, that look in your eyes right before a tale of yours begins and despite all my efforts, usually we never quite make it to the end. My lack of concentration for this is solely to blame. I may still not have entirely mastered this concentration skill, however I think I'm getting better, or at least I should, it's been 5 years!
It's something about this photo though that really gets me. A photo has the power of a thousand words and this photo to me is priceless. Photos are the moments in time which cannot be explained or captured through any other means. They're the seconds in life which are snapped for a reason. To see what it is we may perhaps not see ourselves. If this is how we're seen to the outside world, you and I. In our quiet moments of generally being 'us', then I like the view the rest of the world gets. Five whole years later from that first visit up a tower so mighty and high and I believe we still look exactly as we did way back then. Perhaps only now, even stronger. If you are still standing there and we continue to look like this for the rest of our days, I don't think we could possibly ask for anything more than that. Love doesn't need to be spoken out loud because love fills the moments like these and it's eternal presence is always felt, even when all else remains still. When I look at this four sided box which contains a moment of our life, it's clear the strong love that exists. This is exactly what I was put here to feel and be a part of... the quiet but almighty picture perfect love. x
