oh my, ive become a bookworm! what has this world come to?

here is an excerpt that made me cry, from the book i cant put down: the time traveller's wife.

"we are walking down the street, holding hands. there's a playground at the end of the block and i run to the swings and climb on, and henry takes the one next to me, facing the opposite direction, and we swing higher and higher, passing each other, sometimes in synch and sometimes streaming past each other so fast it seems like we're going to collide, and we laugh, and laugh, and nothing can ever be sad, no one can be lost, or dead, or far away: right now we are here, and nothing can mar our perfection, or steal the joy of this perfect moment."

im not sure why the passage brought me to tears. maybe because whenever i do encounter moments that feel so perfect, i wish i could hold on to it forever, so that i dont forget the joy that i felt. maybe i just want to relive all the perfect moments.
