Paperworks, Coffee, Cigarettes, and Pizza

Coffee, packs of Marlboro reds, and convenience store pizza by our side...

I suppress all the bliss I feel, wishing that I could hold on to this fleeting happiness a bit longer.

And it was just a lazy afternoon of cramming paperworks for you.

ABOUT US

The wedding ring he gave you as he proposed under the starry April sky.

The last lipstick she had used, before she died, that you never threw away.

The old class picture you found hidden in your cabinet, bringing so many memories.

These things and their stories - it is what the "Poetry of Things" is all about. How these seemingly trivial objects, for some, might be the most precious possessions we have because of the history that it holds.

Symbols of our lives, Mementos of our existence. True treasures that are priceless.
