There is a certain association of nostalgia attached to photographs
whether they are in the mind, or on paper.

one treasured photo of mine, 
has started to fade,
with no copies,
i can only try to protect it from harsh weather,
heat, bitter cold, and dampness.

But no matter how much i try,
as it gets older,
it will one day completely fade away from the paper.

it will remain only in my memory,
until the day, even that fades,
and the contours of the faces, the smiles,
that contentment of companionship,
will vanish forever.
