Remember

He sits on the rocking chair, smacking his lips together. the weary black eyes of his, lingers on, scanning the surroundings around him. he smiles just rocking himself away.

"Hello stranger," A woman's voice appeared from behind "Aren't you cold?" She walks beside of him and settles a hand on the man's shoulders. he turns his head and looks at the woman. the woman who has stood by him for 40 years. He smiles at her and takes her hand, leads her to her own seat.

"I'm not cold. I'm fine." He sneezes, the woman frowns.
"I don't believe you."
"you never do.." he lets out a chuckle and stares into her eyes, he grabs her hands again and kisses them, rubbing them to his, he sees her lips turn to a smile and looks back to the lawn and smiles....

"Do you remember when we were young and everything we could ever think about was just ourselves and we didn't care about anyone else?" the man lets out a chuckle
"Do you remember when I told you we wouldn't make it and yet you proved me wrong?" the lady smiles back, tightly sqeezing his hands.

"I'm still proving it to you." he says, he turns around and holds her face, carressing her cheeks "I'm not stopping."
"All these years..you really stayed. I doubted you. I'm so ashamed." She rests her head on his hands, holding his hands to her cheek, closing her eyes. "I love you.."

"You don't have to be ashamed. We made it, didn't we? I love you very much. We have three wonderful children who are succcessful. It was the hardest trial of our lives, we made it. we pulled through. We had a lot problems, I wasn't too fatherly around them, I was so worked up about work. I was aiming for the best because I needed to support this family...BUT really, you deserve everything. All these years you've put up with me, you still amaze me withe evrything you do. though we're old and weary now, you're still the same girl that I was with since back. You're still my best friend today, my lover everyday, and a wife throughout...you didn't stop believing me, you supported me. you tutored me to grow."
He stops for a moment and looks at her, she smiles warmly at him, tears streaks down her face. he wipes rgem away and smiles at her. She stands up, she leads him back to the door, with the cane in hand, he stands and follows suit. Into the house they went...
