A loving embrace of hands, a connection made thousands of times before, but this one was just a little more significant. The wrinkly hands damaged by sun and time held a strong embrace as the couple strolled through the summertime scene. Their surroundings where of no concern to them as they shared mutual experiences of years since past. laughing at some memories and sharing a collective silence for others. so much had brought them to this point on the calender. Sixty years between their first meeting and this exact moment. so many things had gone wrong and so many right, to lead them to this moment. the old lady with shining silver in her hair drew her partner closer.
"So many years, so many memories." her soft lips uttered the nostalgia of the moment. the old man turned to catch her gaze.
"It wasn't easy for me to get here ya know?" a playful smile chased his comment.
"I just had to know that you where the one, i couldn't just give my love away for free." and her playful smile matched his. the old man recollected all that it took to get him to this point with her. all the fights, all the heartbreak, all the emotions and all the moments their relationship was almost dashed to bits. the man came to one conclusion on his retrospective glance back at time... it was all worth the while. The man spilled the confession of his love, just as he ad for the first time all those years ago, "I fucking love you Ava Elizabeth Robertson"
