Day 190 - Lights Out, originally uploaded by clarity25.

**Wednesday**

The electricity was out for our entire street most of the night.

Eric and I lit a bunch of candles all over the livingroom and spent the night talking together.

There was nothing to distract us from eachother. No internet, no television, no radio. Just the two of us and the flickering candles illuminating the darkness. We opened up about our fears, our feelings, our hopes for the future. We acknowledged how far we've come, what we hope to change and where we want to be...

It was an emotional and important night.

We needed this time together.

Sometimes a power outage is exactly what you need to stop you dead in your tracks and remind you of the more important things in life.

We are both sitting on the sofa. If you look closely you can make out Eric on the right (I blurred him out a bit because he was only in his boxer shorts) and me on the left. Due to the long Exposure, There are two images of me as I lean in to kiss him as the picture was taken.
