Years on years on years I’ve been spilling out words, telling some long winding story, my story, our story. They culminated here, in this photograph, in this pause between those chapters and the rest we will write together, they all came to the front of me and poured out of my eyes and cracked my voice like a desert floor. Then came the rain, all that salt stored up from all that time waiting to say them, to write them, to read them aloud into Scottish rain. I broke reading these words, full and wholly, I shattered over and again, she held it together so much better than I did, for it felt like a setting down of a weight that I’d held for ages, for eternities. A turning of a page has a sound, it has a tangible feel, it has a smell and I know now it’s cracking voice, it’s old pages between fingertips, it’s heather after an October misting, it’s her skin beneath that dress, it’s the Harris tweed once rained upon.
What a beautiful expression of how the love of a lifetime changes our very soul, and we are no longer the same person we were just moments before turning that page. You've captured that moment in time in your words here and shared it with the world. Thank you. ❤
I love this so much - and it happens to also be my birthday, and it reminds me of all the love I've had and hope to still have in the future. It is a great message of hope for me. And I love the love you both have. It's the best thing to witness, even from afar.
My goodness every single tear and moment waiting was so worth it. I love you with every breath my love. 💚
