Fate Understood

'Do you believe in fate?'
She asked
He sat there
Not understanding her words


2 months later
They were so in love
A boy and a girl
Taking on the world


'Will you be mine?'
He asked
She cried there
Joy running down her face


1 year later
They were just married
A man and a woman
Taking on the world


'Will you be there?'
She asked
He nodded
Never wanting to leave his bride


5 years later
They had three kids
The man and woman
Taking on the world


'Do you believe in fate?'
He asked
She understood
When the doctors told them the diagnosis


65 years later
They were in love
They were married
They had a loving family


He understood those words from years ago
Now that he lived them.
She cried and smiled and nodded
As they talked about life together.


4 weeks later
They were together again
A silent promise
Never to leave each other's side.
