a long and lone wooden bench situated at the apex of the pavement facing the sea. i sat alone on one end of the bench. the sea breeze in the evening was cooling. i closed my eyes and tilted my nose towards the sky to steal a breath from the oncoming breeze. i enjoyed that moment the most. it was filled with nothing. no sound of passing vehicles, no task to execute, not thinking of my troubles. just an elderly couple taking a stroll together with their cane holding hands and the low dull tones of waves. they were lovely. loving. lovers all over again. there were no conversations between them. they treasured the silence and their partner's presence. that was sufficient to keep them going. to know that that person you love is still living beside you caring for you. in my eyes, they're my perfect couple.
sanctify this withered soul of mine.
