Today, I was at the hospital while my sister got some blood work done for her pregnancy. For some reason the lobby was full of exceptionally old people even though we were in the baby unit(I'm not sure of it's technical name). I saw this one couple, a very sickly man holding the hand of a seemingly healthy old woman. They just looked so happy, despite the fact that he is sick & probably dying in the near future. When they got to the doors she told him to sit & wait for her to bring the car up & he didn't want to let her hand go. It was by far the sweetest, most sincere love I have seen in a long time. It's making me cry right now, just remembering it. I thought about Eric & how we do have one of those relationships where I do love him sincerely & he looks at me sometimes & I melt from just feeling so full of his love. He doesn't hide it, he loves me.
I texted him & said, "I want to grow super old with you & be a happy, annoying old couple. I love you so much." He responded back with, "We wouldn't be an annoying couple though, we'd be the beefy gym couple. I love you kitten, & forever isn't long enough."
I don't care what my best friend has to say, he is good enough for me. Because he loves me for who I am right now & who I will be later, no matter what. I couldn't expect or want anything more from him except his happiness & life with me.
