beautiful like acid

i found this tonight and i was stopped dead in my tracks.  i literally sat at my desk for a good 5 minutes, just staring at this.  In that 5 minutes I absorbed and appreciated everything about this picture:  the feeling you get from looking at it, and the feeling you get from looking at it remembering being in the picture with someone that crucial to your existence.  while i am happy and feel fortunate enough to have the patience to have found something that struck of an emotional chord like that in me and incited just feelings of fondness and love, it also was like a full liter bottle of acid being tossed into my face.  i had that once.  it was bliss.  so i'm going to post it here, so i can look at it whenever i want.  whether i'm choosing to incite the fondness or the self-inflicted acid burns as a result of exposure to said picture, that remains to be seen:

sweet dreams handsome.
