VALENTINE COUPLETS When love comes late in life, all the focus is on the wife. How does that oldish man complete her youngish plan? But optics are not the gauge to measure love at any age. Why let a little myopia deny them their utopia. Her opened door one winter’s day was not meant for him to stay. Suddenly they looked around, surprised by what they found. The years between them had melted away in a flowery vision of a wedding in May. Later when they would count the years, his ebbing youth would arouse her fears. Time seemed to be rushing by so fast in a mad cap dash to give them a past. Holding on to the moment of the vow couldn’t save them from the here and now. There was nothing for them to negotiate. Their love had become age appropriate.
