Look.
Closer.
A little bit more.
Hey Hey everyone!
So a couple of weeks ago I was scrolling past my dashboard at Tumblr, (yes, I'm addicted to Tumblr) and scrolled past this. But what caught my attention was the description.
It said.
"Wow, I've never seen a photo that can tell so many stories at once"
"OMG, I love this photo you can see a story going around between the biggest figure, but if you pay enough attention, then you'd see another one going on the background"
And I was like "wait, what? Which picture?" And then I saw it.
This picture.
And I was so captivated on how the photographer captured just the right moment.
And I'm still fascinated.
The point of this next paragraphs is of open up your mind and see things, and imagine things that you wouldn't actually think or literally see. But they are there.
And before, you must know that since I was a little baby I've always loved stories, and fairy tales, and making up stories in my head, something that you wouldn't see in reality. I have way too much imagination (which isn't exactly helpful because I imagine things another way around than the way they really are, and then the reality hits me like a train running off its tracks, crashing down on the cold hard ground, and I just get so dissapointed) (so yes, some of us aren't just faces and clothes, we are mind and stories)
It's the night.
Tonight.
After having some really relax and quite simple dates, they are going big tonight.
A couple of days ago she found her missing to-do list, that she made when she was twelve. She made a list, about real crazy stuff, and real crazy dates, and she promised to herself that when she had a boyfriend, she'd make all of the things on the list come true.
And he saw the list, and decided it was time to cross out the first thing on the list.
1.- A particularly, out of the usual, date, in town.
He opened the door for her. She stepped carefully out of the big black car, hoping she wouldn't trip on her long, night dress, and almost sighed in relief when she made it to the street.
He was holding her glove softly yet firmly, and she felt like she could slow dance right there.
He was wearing a pn spotless tuxedo, (which suited him so marvelously) his hair back, like a real preppy boy. Her style was more like Blair Waldorf, hair tied in a special-kind of knot, jewelry hanging from her neck bone and ears. Soft, pink lips and a little natural blush was making her way trough her cheeks. Her dress was long enough that she had to wear high heels. But she liked the feeling the heels gave her, she felt classy and powerful. Her long night gown in a cream color was tied in the middle with a platinum, sparkly belt. She really felt like a modern princess. And his prince was holding her hand.
They walked to the center of the plaza, and he searched his pockets. She was slightly laughing, because she was kind of nervous, this whole date was a surprise to her, because he planned it all and told her nothing but to wait the unexpected. And here they were, with classy clothes, in the middle of a plaza, with people walking by and looking at them like they were crazy.
And maybe they were.
He finally found what he was looking for and put it on the ground. His cellphone.
A slow music started to play and she just threw her head back laughing, while he took her right hand into his, surrounded her tiny waist with the other.she placed her left hand on his shoulder and they started slow dancing.
It was cold, it was late, curious glances were on them, but all she could se were his deep, deep blue eyes. And his blinding smile.
It was the perfect date.
It was just them, and the whole world seemed to stop his busy rotation to just look at them.
The last notes played and he spun her around just one last time, when she caugh a glimpse of something going on at their left.
A guy was on his knees and the girl was just with her hands on her mouth nodding excited.
She stopped and saw them. Then pointed them out for him to see.
This was clearly a magic night. They were both looking at the now, engaged couple when he looked at her and finally knew.
He kneeled down in front of her, and said
" We'll complete that list under one condition" she looked at him confused and he went on
"If you add marry me at the bottom" and then he took a tiny box from his pants and opening right in front of her, revealing a diamond ring, brighter than anything she had ever seen.
The whole world stopped, including her heart. He was proposing to her! Proposing!
She had been waiting for this so long that now it seemed unreal. She remembered that she had to answer, and breathe. So out of breathe and with tears in her eyes she said
"Yes"
So, I really hope this had made your day a little sweeter, and next time you see a picture look closer! Even if it's a b&w photo.
Love, love.
