Photos:

Photos are good.

Photos take down memories, and sometimes capture emotions we don't get to see when we're too caught up in the moment ourselves. 

Photos are good. 

They let us remember. 

Photos are good. 

Especially the ones that are candid and filled with raw emotions. Sometimes we see chemistry, too. 

Photos are good.

Because I can remember what the stories were behind every photo that was taken. Like how I know she smiled like that to the camera because of the person behind the camera that was smiling back at her.  How we laughed at stories of france and idare camp over that wonderful newton dinner. 

Sometimes,

just sometimes-

Photos suck.

Because they remind us of memories we once wanted to hold onto so tightly-

but now we want them gone. 

I wish they were gone. 

But photos don't disappear. 

And the mind can't seem to forget. 

And sometimes, 

it still can't accept. 

Just sometimes.
