This shot is the Bica Funicular approaching the top of its journey.

I’m waiting for it to empty so I can go down to near the water and the Time Out food market then Pink Street (which wasn’t really me).

Another hot day in Lisbon, and I’m starting to get the lay of the land.

tell me a bedtime story please. 🖤

(I think you’re fantastic btdubs)

Oh, thank you ♡

There once a boy and a girl. Now, it was strange, this boy and this girl always seem to cross paths.

They grew up on the same street, practically neighbors. They became best friends, doing everything together. Until the boy had to move away.

They were now so very far apart and slowly, they would forget one another.

Until one day, "What? How?" The girl had a new boy in class. That same boy from when they were both small.

They started staying after school, missing the bus, talking to one another. Then they started going to see movies together. And one day the boy kissed the girl for the first time ever.

But a family emergency had the girl moving closer to her grandmother. And the boy and the girl only had that one kiss.

Years and years went by. Again, the boy and the girl had slowly began to forget each other. They were adults now and busy. What even were the chances?

Fate said they were high. Pushing through a crowd at a concert, a boy turned around quickly and spilled his drink all over a girl.

That same girl he had kissed in school. That same girl he had met when he was small.

The boy and the girl started going for dinner. Then they started falling asleep at each other's houses. And one day, the boy got on one knee and asked the girl to marry him. "Yes, of course."

But dear reader, not all stories have a happy ending. The boy and the girl are happily married. But they have always seemed to operate as cars on a funicular track. In parallels. With a quick meeting in the middle before they're pulled apart once more.
