What About Pat?

These images are of an Australian bloke named Pat, taken about ten years ago when he was in his late twenties by his then boyfriend, who in turn posted them recently on a photography forum. The couple must have been together for quite a time, because he also featured earlier photos he had taken of Pat about twenty years ago.

I always think it's so sad when a couple breaks up after a long time together. I can always remember their happy times, so it makes the separation all the more like a scar. I'm a helpless romantic -- I always think love should last forever.
