We Do Not Understand

Goldfinch60



We just do not understand!

How can this have happened,

Happened to us?

Our love for each other

Is so very strong.

We are one,

Our minds, hearts and souls together,

Together in a love so strong.

We have lived our long lives

But in this evening of our time

We fell in love.

Even at our age we make love,

And it is not sex,

It is pure unadulterated love,

Love that we have for each other

In the closest and most wonderful way.

We laugh at and with each other,

There are no issues at all,

We even think like each other.

What have we done,

Done to be so happy

And be together

At the age we are.

And all I did almost two years ago,

Was to ask her out for coffee.

      Good write Gold.
      I asked myself this - Dunno how I came to marry KP. Must have been that day she hid the water. I got tipsy and said 'yeshhh' when I meant 'nooooo!' lol.

            What a wonderful thing a cup of coffee can be, life changing. No need to understand, or ask why, just bask in the glow of love no matter what the age. Your choice of song is superb!

            • Goldfinch60

              It certainly can be, we are basking in that glow of love all the time.
              The song has become 'our song'.
