“Oh Patrick”

I try so hard to take pictures of the things we do together, the moments that I look at you and think “I want to remember this.” Getting cones at the dairy. The time you hung the curtains in the bedroom. Making dinner. Just being together on the couch. You don’t always play along. Or the camera doesn’t always cooperate and you are left recreating a pose that was only meant to be instantaneous. In those moments, you make a face and say “not again”, or you stick the ice cream up your nose, to which I roll my eyes and say, “Oh Patrick.”
