Old Love

You can't deny it. When you see an old couple in love, you want that. But the sad truth of it is, most people don't stay in love forever. I mean, they might, but the chances of them showing it is slim to none. I can't help but notice that the majority of these couples are white. I'm not being racist or anything, but how often do you see an Asian old couple holding hands? Things like that are rarely seen. Although, I saw it ONCE. This old man and woman - both Asian - were waiting to cross the street. The old lady was holding her groceries and the light signaled them to cross the street. Her husband took her groceries in one hand, took her hand in the other, and lead her across the street. When they had crossed the street, the woman extended her arm to take the groceries back. Her husband smiled, kissed her on the cheek, took her hand again, and they began walking again. Sadly, this is the only encounter I've had with this situation. I don't even see so much as my parents kissing. Are they still in love? Were they ever in love? I don't know. All I know is, I don't want to get married and not be in love during my marriage. I don't care if the gray hairs and the lines come in, I want to be in love and be loved, from beginning to end.
