When i walk through the street and I see the typical old couple, i cannot put up to smile and to think what is the key of love? Why are they so happy? How many years have they been together? What link them up? What do you feel when you wake up every day next to the same person, when you see every single movement the other does, when you discover all the mistakes and all the virtues, why they don’t run away? Why they love each other every day more and more? Why they want to spend all their life together? Why they cannot live without the other? Why he is still giving her flowers for Saint Valentine’s Day after 50 years? Why they still love the other when he or she gets fat or ugly?
My grandmother told me one day, because He was the most important person in my life and although he has died I love him every day more and more, because our hearts will be always linked by an invisible thread full of happiness, one day you will find the key and you won’t be the same again, because every minute will be special and you will enjoy it.
This is lovely! :) I don't think it is always so sweet and rosy for elderly couples, though. They must have their good and bad days like everybody else. I guess sometimes they even have regrets about their past choices, but they do stay together, and that's what counts.
