Forever Side By Side

I witnessed pure love spilled out in front of me

I watched him caressed her lovely face,
a tenderness of his touch eased her distress.
I heard him spoke of their love,
and the melody of his voice gave her strength to gaze at him awhile.
I saw his hazel eyes filled with unconditional love overshadowing the sadness creeping up behind his voice whilst a smile never left his face.

I knew then what the true meaning of love,
she’s the everything that matter to him!

She lay there,
motionless!
Brown eyes focused only on him,
and I glimpsed deep into her brown eyes,
her soul yearning to reach out to him,
wanting to speak of her unconditional love.
But in spite of her condition,
her love for him is written all over her lovely face.
Never fade never halt,
pure love shine on.

I knew then what a true love is,
He’s the reason she’s still breathing!

Through smile they communicate.
Holding hands they are forever one,
love embraced them peacefully,
forever side by side...

And I was so captivated witnessing true love...
