little hope

They say we should take more pictures. Because photographs act as tangible proof of all the good times and the bad. Because who knows, ten years from now, maybe three, or just next week, when you want to reflect on today, there's something to look back on, to smile to yourself at.

The genuinity of those smiles, the tenderness of those faces - so carefree, so happy. They say looking at them, you will smile, you will laugh and just reminisce. 

But looking at them now, I fail at both attempts, to smile and laugh. Instead, it hurts. It hurts because I know, I know, never will they happen again.

I guess this is when hope comes in.
