Short Version of a Picture Is Worth 1000 Words

They say a picture Is worth a 1000 words? A picture is multiple complex ideas that can be conveyed by single still images, However, a picture does not capture someone's inner essence or uncover ones hidden encryptions, it has limits. Like I cannot smell your scent through a still image, or see that glint, that sparkle in your eyes, It doesn't talk to me like you did, or laugh with me like you did, or even at me like you did, many times, I can't hear your voice through a picture, it's just pixelated colour of memories, good, old, past, times, But it doesn't capture a true uninstructed smile you'd give a real smile from ear to ear from time to time, It doesn't capture the little unprovoked annoyingly annoying things you'd do little things that just made you, you A picture may well be worth 1000 wonderouse words but I'd trade every single one to see you the whole of you. Even if it was for just one last time, and I'd snap a selfie still because if I can't have you a picture will just have to do.

Thankyou so much for your feedback and commenting I recently lost my father and funnily enough he's in very few pictures because he was always the photographer x
