The Couple In The Bookstore

They were standing by the Fiction racks
when I walked in to look for my Stendhal
and happened upon a brief beautiful moment
He was holding her hands very delicately
it was clear, he cares about her deeply
often you can tell by a slight gesture.
Her crinkled eyes had a look of pain
there was hesitation, shifting, uncertainty
she wanted to say something but failed
he wrapped his arms gently around her
and asked pleadingly, "Honey! What is wrong?".
Compassion in companionship! How beautiful!
I hope these two people are in love
I need that .. I need them to be in love.
Happy Valentine's Day!
