On my way to the MRT station this morning, I chance upon this elderly couple on the feeder. I think they must be at least 60 years old if not 70.
Both are sitting silently beside each other. No words of exchange, not even looking at each other. However, they were holding hands throughout the whole journey. Not just holding hands but 十指交扣... Occassionally, the old lady will playfully hit the palm of the old man. Then they will resume holding hands the same way.
It is really heart-warming to see old couples still so much in love with each other. With divorce rates so high, with couples filing for separation even before they can celebrate their 5th wedding anniversary, this is really a very encouraging sight. It showed me that even in this materialistic and sometimes, unfeeling world, true love still do exist. And couples will really grow old together and stay by each other.
Somehow, it helped built up my confidence in relationship. But only by a millimeter...
