I will cherish my visit here in my memory as long as I live

I have had these screen captures saved on my computer for YEARS. I'm not sure why they sat on my hard drive for so long, but they did because I just felt that they needed to be there.
When Reyan and I broke up, I watched a Roman Holiday over and over again. I was so struck by the sense of fragility created by the crisp shadows across the character's faces. It was mesmerising at a time when nothing else was. It's hard to believe that it has been two years since we parted ways. It's hard to recall how devastating the breakup was because so many good things have happened in between. But I think that for a long time, I carried a huge sadness around with me. I know that Ken surely felt it for months into our relationship.
Today I turned on my computer and realised that I didn't need Audrey Hepburn's face staring back at me any more.
