my beloved paris.

you never forget your first love. the way that it sweeps you off to another time and place. your first love is bittersweet; the most beautiful untainted memories that seem so distant, yet hovering, reminding you of that first glance. the moment when your world shifted.

paris. you were my first love. with your green benches and curved stoned paths, you guided me. i fell for your beauty at night, when no one else was around. just you and i, and notre dame, with a beautiful crisp backdrop of the seine and the big round moon.

each time i go back, it's like visiting an old friend. i walk the same streets and take the same corners to see the same majestic view. i feel the same homesickness for a time so long ago, for a girl so young, that only you can bring about.

no matter how much time passes, i'll never forget paris. what it was, what it is, and what it will be.

Did you know I've never been to Paris? But it's on my life list, so one day.

ONE DAY. :)

I've had such a longing for Paris lately, and this makes me miss it even more! Such a gorgeous perspective in so many of these shots.

Makes me miss my time there. My favorite was the architecture (which you've so beautifully captured in some of these photos!).
