Words that touches

Some words or phases seems to remain in one's memory, whether it is from a movie, a song or even a conversation. It remains because it touches you in some way, some where deep in you where you can feel something stir, just like a little wave~~

And this does it for me today:

Though my job involves restoring cultural properties,

sometimes I feel how they rust and decay slowly is also beautiful.

What I mean is that love for a cultural property isn't just restoration.

Watching it slowly disappear is also a kind of love.

It is not lovey dovey but it touches me in a special way, how the words can be played into human lives, how one can age yet still be beautiful in many other ways.
