Old Married Couples

An old couple got onto the subway train this morning.
They must have been married for many years.
May have even married young.
They were so sweet together.
He helped her on and off the train.
She laughed and fixed his hat.
They smiled, and talked and laughed some more.

And I smiled.
I thought how lovely it is to know someone for so many years, love someone for so many years, be married to someone for so many years...
and laugh together.
