Art

As you've might noticed when reading my fic, my writing is very much driven by quotes and lyrics. I hope you did pick up a few and hold them close to heart. Anyways, this is some art that inspires the story of Photographs, in which some of them didn't make it into the story. Some of them I'll treasure, as they were given to me by someone important to me. Enjoy!

Poems

1.

The day you smiled at me.

I took a photo of you.

The day you told me you love me.

I took a photo of the sunset.

The day you cried before me.

I took a photo of your tears.

The day you left me.

I broke my camera.

— self written by @cforchaeyoung

2.

I burned the beautiful photographs.

Because you burned our memories.

With someone new in your arms.

But I still hold the ashes of what we become.

That's why. Maybe. 

I still haven't much moved on for another soul.

— self-written by @ScarsHearts

3.

I do not love you except because I love you;
I go from loving to not loving you,
From waiting to not waiting for you
My heart moves from cold to fire.

I love you only because it's you the one I love;
I hate you deeply, and hating you
Bend to you, and the measure of my changing love for you
Is that I do not see you but love you blindly.

— Pablo Neruda

4.

Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory;
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.

Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,

Love itself shall slumber on.

—  Percy Bysshe Shelley
