I saw this older couple the other day.
They were having a moment in their garden.
I watched as they stood their holding eachother
over ripe tomatoes,
that squished unoticed under their feet.
It was sunset,
and I envied their love,
maybe because I thought of it as proof of a chance at my own.
It started to rain,
But they were locked into eachothers eyes,
and it made me think of companionship.
It was a special love
A love most seek out with no prevail.
The kind that already had proven to have lasted forever.
It made me think of that man's life as well.
Of how when he looks back
he will hold no regrets.
and if I were to ask him what the best part of his life was?
I'd imagine he'd say.
''Her eyes held the sun light''
''She was the one most seek out with no prevail''.
''But I did find it,
and when I didn't let go''
''It held me back as we stood over crushed tomatoes
and it danced with me in the rain''
But,'' I was in love once''
Would be all he would have to say.
