Welcome to Over50sForum! The site for people over 50 to chat, make friends, discuss, share, and generally be part of something that's fun and friendly :)
Following on from the Valentine thread.
I was thinking about how some people do get love, mixed up with intense liking or attraction.
What makes love last?
Why do some couples last longer than others?
It's spotting his walk in a crowd and starting to smile.
Giggling at some private slang only you two understand.
Checking his back for a rogue mole or itchy patch
Watching some TV programme that bores you stiff because he likes it
Remembering something from 50 years ago and arguing about the details
Criticising each other but leaping to their defence if someone else does.
Wishing you could take on their pain when they're ill
Hoping that you die before them (maybe that one's just my prayer).
