Love is seeing the sides of somebody no photograph will ever show.
The morning sun filtered through her hair as she turns to me half-asleep in the precious, all too narrow window between awake and up.
The crinkled nose and narrowed eyes of the helpless laugh I know would vanish if I pointed a camera at it.
Her face fitting into the crook of my arm last thing at night, in dim light no lens could open wide enough to soak up.
No album will ever contain these snaps, nor will any wallet. But I carry them with me always.

Very moving, thankyou for sharing this :)
Just beautiful.
Some of us got lucky...didn't we?
You're a poet who doesn't know it. Ya yadi yaya!
She's a lucky woman...:)
This was absolutely beautiful. Tops anything I could write.
Sometimes seeing with the heart is the best memory, it always gets it right.
Perfection.
Beautiful post. I particularly liked the line: 'The crinkled nose and narrowed eyes of the helpless laugh I know would vanish if I pointed a camera at it.'
I can only say this is perfect - all 100 words of it.
Ohhhhhh.....
This is rather sigh-worthy. The first line is my favourite.
Good one - poetic
God, you are just too cute. And soppy. Very soppy.
Wonderful. You told so much by using only 100 words which is incredible. I loved the last two lines, perfect!
Awwww that's lovely.
Very nice post :)
So beautiful, from the very first line.
Clearly, the two of you must fall in love with each other over and over again. The beauty and honesty of your references to one another fill my heart with comfort and sometimes, laughter.
Gorgeous.
I wish most guys are as romantic. Lovely couple. :)
oh, CUT IT OUT, already!
i think i have a tiny bit of vomit in my mouth. really.
(well, i couldn't just swoon like everyone else, y'know?!)
The perfect 100 word love letter.
Lovely, just wonderfully lovely.
This was the best 100 word I've yet read. Made me think of my relationship with my extraordinary husband.
Thanks everybody who commented on this one. I’m glad it struck a chord with so many. I won’t respond to all the comments one by one (or I’ll just end up saying “Thanks” a lot) but to respond to a few of them:
Moannie - Yes, I’m extremely lucky. She is probably not quite so lucky, but that’s life. And this is definitely prose.
Jennifer - Thank you, that is a wonderful piece of praise.
OWT - I feel like my heart definitely sees it as it is, and I think the most beautiful images are sometimes the ones you can’t capture with a machine.
Harmony - Hello! You haven’t commented in such a long time I thought you’d stopped reading. How lovely to get a comment from you.
Alexia - Thank you and welcome to the blog. I’m really pleased when people say what their favourite part is in the comments.
Maxine - I’m really not soppy. Well, not most of the time anyway.
Suzy - Thanks for commenting! Welcome to the blog.
Jacob - Welcome to the blog (your first time commenting, I think). Thank you for stopping by.
Nari - Yes, every single day, whether it’s a good day or a bad day.
Lana Banana - Sorry! I’m sure there will be a post about sex toys or smut along before too long to wash away the bad taste.
Linda and her Twaddle - Welcome to the blog! Glad you liked this one and hope I see you again (and is it really twaddle? I bet it’s not).
Hillary - That’s lovely to hear, I’m glad you found things in it to relate to. Having someone extraordinary is a wonderful feeling.
That was beautiful. It left a lovely aura. Love that.
