Love isn’t an act, it’s a whole life. It’s staying with her now because she needs you; it’s knowing you and she will still care about each other when sex and daydreams, fights and futures - when all of that is on the shelf and done with. Love - why I’ll tell you what love is: It’s you at seventy-five and her at seventy-one, each of you listening for each other’s step in the next room, each afraid that a sudden silence, a sudden cry, could mean a lifetimes talk is over.
