I.
happiness is a picture of a boy and girl sitting together on a blue and white striped towel at the beach. she is leaning into him, her arm across his chest. he is hold her against him in a bear-hug. her hair - so much longer then - is flying in the breeze. she is laughing, happy. he too is laughing, smiling blue eyes gaze up at the sky. an arrogant smile stretching across his face. he is beautiful.
II.
where is this happy couple? is it true happiness, or a pose, struck for a flash. how i wish i could remember. why are her eyes staring holes into the camera. why will she not look away.
III.
love is not the pure emotion i imagined it to be.
