Memoriessss a lo "The Way We Were"

Today as I was checking an old email account, I was bothered by the massive quantity of emails from the Tagged site, apparently I had open an account with them many many many moons ago. Deciding to delete the account at last, I went to check my profile, and it caught me by surprise that I had a picture of us, as my profile picture. In one of our many break-ups, I had in a tantrum decided to delete all of the photos that existed of our relationship, as if by erasing them from my computer I could erase him from my life. So, when I saw my profile picture, which was my favorite photo of us, I was really surprised that somehow that picture managed to survive through a forgotten account.

 

Looking at it now, its perplexing how much we used to love each other, our intimacy, our playfulness, our carelessness... 

Today, it actually made me feel good to see it, in some way this photo erased all those bad memories of a tormented relationship, and now I can look at it with a different perspective, as something that once gave me joy, instead of terrible pain. 

How can one single picture prove to be so powerful and meaningful? 

In a photo in the vast infinity of cyberspace, our love proved to be everlasting. Makes me wonder and think, like looking up to the stars and seeing into the past, love, sometimes can be that distant star billions of light years away. We may see something so beautiful from here, yet, that luminous star that we see is only a reflection of what once was and may be no more. A photograph, in a way is that radiant star's light that keeps on shining even after its demise.

Love, even in its wake can be that celestial body that keeps on shining forever in the infinity of space.
