Day 319: Photographs

Photographs are perfection no matter how messed up some are, I mean they stay forever in that way despite everything around changes and when you fall for someone, every photo they have is special. It can be a selfie, with him or her in a group or simply him/her smiling. The last one is special, it's that damned smile that makes you feel so complete. You never gave a damn for a moment whether that person is yours or not because once you saw that beautiful smile, you just stop and forget everything. Photos of that person is always perfect and you will never deny that.

Imagine how lovely it is to fall for someone photogenic, his/her beauty forever in that piece of paper or on that screen. You fall in love everytime you see that person even in that virtual or surreal world. Can you imagine the happiness that one has when they have the opportunity to have a picture taken with the person they love? I can only imagine that person jumping of joy as the moment they had with the person they love is immortalized. 

But how one photograph can give so much happiness, it can also bring you pain. Imagine how one photograph is all you have as a fragment of your past and every broken memory there is. It is all you have. Because it will never return. Your departed love one only exists in your memories and photographs what's worse, those who are alive but decided to leave your life only exists in them too. That's what makes them precious, it is a fragment of the past that will never go back no matter how we want it to be. 

Photographs are perfect but the moment you learn that everything in it is a thing of the past, it just sinks your heart.
