staring me right in the face...

looking back,
reminiscing,
clicking through various photo albums,
"a picture says a thousand words"
hundreds of pictures, millions of words...
memories...
some sweet, some sour, some ripened with age.
some seem so long ago, and yet they're not, really.
time is a funny thing. so deceitful, always in the background,
hiding? perhaps. or maybe just following quietly,
ready to spring to the fore when needed most.
tonight, looking back, reflecting, i wondered at one point, why?
why now, of all moments, have these memories decided
to flash back into my concious thought?
perhaps time is wise, it knows when we're ready
to view such memories the way they ought to be viewed.
happy, no longer bittersweet, now i can smile, instead of lapsing
into near-tears...
it was a good night, and the stars, those beautiful stars,
were witness to it all, a perfect backdrop to the wonderfully unexpected.
no regrets, why should i have any?
i wished for that night, envisioned it so many times, varied, in my mind,
the stars granted me that one wish,
when i very least expected....
now, isn't that the best thing of all?
