Understanding Love.

Goldfinch60



Each day it gets stronger,

Our love for each other increases

And we do not understand,

Do not understand it at our age.

But here we are

Two old codgers in love,

In a love that strengthens

And all we can say,

Can say to each other

Is “I love you”,

And that just not seem to be enough.

We just do not understand

But it is so wonderful

And will go on to eternity.

            To understand love is a contradiction in terms. Understanding requires logic and love is emotion, it is like trying to mix oil and water. Just experience it and many more years of such love to you Andy

              So true soren, we just do not understand how powerful our love is for each other, thank you.

                  Beautiful.

                    I'd say that love is timeless, ageless, and that you and Mary are proof of the very essence of it. Beautiful!

                    • Goldfinch60

                      So very true Bella, thank you.
