young love, does it last, maybe in the past if you asked umasking the history, rather mystery of old young love. I met a couple today, been together since '46 or 47, dates don't matter. the latter, rather the man blissfully old with her sweetheart's purse in hand, if I may boldly say, got business he says, wouldn't be possible if not for her, she didn't go to school, but her mind,kind and sharp got kids he adds a lot I might add, all the while her wife's silent, smiling, I replay the moments in the back of my mind, the cheeky slap on the back as he exposed their love over the years, he said "I thought she was 5 years younger" will I get there? off from one talking stage to another, roaming the streets through every restaurant, dates uncountable, too many contacts to review, I don't know, it felt different today, almost fell in love, almost! endless past lovers, should I call one? better yet write to them, maybe, but tomorrow this will all be a memory fading, waiting to be forgotten.
