Memories

Sometimes the best memories we have are the ones of things that never even happened - nostalgic dreams of long walks in gardens under apple trees and a warm spring sun, or of lime milkshakes sipped through straws as our eyes meet for the millionth time. 

Perhaps, it's these very memories which give life and love more meaning than reality itself; as though we never need experience anything but the serene happiness of a moment which will probably never happen; a moment which is so beautifully perfect and so unspokenly loved that it need never exist at all.
