We just do not understand,
Understand how our love is so strong.
My love for my wife of nearly forty years
Was also so strong.
As was Mary’s for her husband.
Both now passed
And waiting for us to join them.
But this love we have is different.
We just cannot be apart from each other,
We need to be at each others side,
At each others side all the time.
Our love increases each moment,
Each moment we are together.
We are both in our seventies
And we feel that our love is young,
Like that first love we had in our younger days.
When we go out people can see,
Can see that love we have,
That intense love we have for each other.
We just do not understand
And all we can say to each other is
“I love you”
Which seems so little,
So little considering the strength of our love.
But it is all we can say,
“I love you.”

Dear Andy, you and Mary live your love every moment of every day, which speaks more than mere words. Too many people say it, but never live it. This poem is a beautiful tribute to the two of you, the song priceless.
We certainly do live our love every moment Bella, thank you for your very kind words.
