SMILE

What is gentleness? I love the moments lurking in everyday life that feel like the instant a beautiful sunset sinks below the horizon. Eating with the people I care about; being alone in my room; saying goodbye to someone I love; looking someone right in the eyes—in moments like these, it all appears before me. I see these as “the gentle times.” For some reason, I don’t always notice them until later. This is a story based on actual events that occurred in a private room between QUEEN’s Freddie Mercury and his last lover, Jim Hutton. It gathers together the special moments that everyone has experienced: sweet, gentle times, and their ultimate unravelling. I’ll never be able to come back to now, so. I want to cherish each instant. I want to fall in love with something every day. And so we meet again today as you hold me. Forever, forever.
