Immortality...

Take a picture in your mind, make it immortal…

The most beautiful things come to you in the still of the night, in the silence of the moment between the words you are too afraid to say…in that split second when there is no sound…only feeling…

Picture it…a hand reaching out to tuck a stray strand of hair behind a pretty ear, pretty dark eyes look up into a pair of handsome smiling ones…blink, look away, lips stay curved upwards. The heart racing to the rhythm of footsteps as they walk towards you and faster as they walk away…the thin line drawn between intoxicating ecstasy and overwhelming sadness…

Those moments alone…flashbacks to laughter floating on air…to open ended sentences you finished for each other…walks in the dark, hugs, holding hands in the middle of traffic when the queue was not moving…

Take a picture in your mind, make it immortal…

Love is such a beautiful thing, an unbelievable thing…not lust or infatuation…Love…it whispers softly when it comes…and warms you up like coffee when it stays…it does not bring with it a crescendo of noise, only quiet sweetness, surprising you when you open your heart and find yourself surrounded. But Oh! When that Love is returned! Spirits turn to see and recognise each other, a moment of awakening, doves fly, lightning and thunder, harps, strings, horns and violins in the cosmos creating a soundtrack to another spark, another story, another miracle beginning…

Nobody knows how long it will last right then and there, but in that moment, beautiful things happen…Hope and Healing and Happiness find a home…such beauty…it grows in the moments that follow…Moments when you notice she has pretty, light skinned feet with red nail polish on and skinny ankles…moments when you notice that the gap in her teeth makes you smile, and when she laughs, you laugh back because her laughter awakens something deep in your belly…you shake your head because she is clumsy and stubborn and insecure about silly things, but your heart races faster than a million horses combined if you fear she is in danger...waking up at 4am and knowing she will wake up to stay up with you...smiling when you catch yourself thinking about what she looks like when she wakes up. The little things…

Make them immortal…

When you are asked you cannot say how or why, she is just everything…and in those moments of purity, beauty is defined, real beauty…the completeness that comes from finding a part of you that has been missing, a part of you that you cannot fathom how you lived without for so long, and yet you did…

It isn’t the same every time…there are times when the joy fades, the warmth disappears leaving only pain and cold discontentment…times when boredom corrodes the sparkle of the creative moment, leading to a slow death…but there are special times…once in a lifetime sometimes when you fight the feelings with all your heart and soul and might…when try as you may you cannot look away from his smile and you cannot help but smile back…when you are struck over and over again by the imperfect perfection of his hands, the sound of his voice, his scent, and the beauty in his laughter…times when no matter what prayers you pray, he is the first image in your mind when you wake up and the last feeling in your heart as you fall asleep at night…

And even though nothing is certain in this life, truth is never truly known, it matters only that you know in your heart that when he smiles, the sun shines so bright that it is blinding, and when he frowns you would lie down on the very ground and die to make his joy return…once in a lifetime sometimes you feel that feeling…like his life is your responsibility to protect, like his children are your children to bear, like his heartbeat is the rhythm to every last breath you will ever take and the beauty of it is so intense, so incessantly magical that you would take a bullet for him to keep him safe…once upon a sometimes…

Take a picture in your mind…make it immortal…because sometimes that sometimes doesn’t last…it gets hard, it gets rocky and in the worst times when you can’t hold on you lose the whole thing…but immortalise the perfection of the moment…it will keep you warm at night and sometimes it will make you cry…but the pain will remind you that you’re human…

I believe in Love…you should too…no matter what…because without it all you have is Emptiness…
