Memories

That is the name of a folder I have in my hard disk, containing all the captured moments of the past years of my life. Tonight I revisited Memories by happenstance, and it got me feeling a mix of emotions, mostly bittersweet. You know the feeling, "we were once..."? Were makes it bitter, and the fact that they could be retained as precious memories makes it sweet. We were once in love, we were once in a tight bond, we were once happy altogether. Seeing the smiles on their faces, everyone huddled in close and happy for a family shot, candid of the ones in love, silly selfies and laughter, then realising they once were.

Photographs really capture a moment that is gone forever.
