" Love is like a rose. It's the beautiful, elegant petals and perfume that sell the flower. But those things don't last very long. The petals wilt and die. In the end, it's the stem--the thorny, sturdy green stem--that keeps the flower alive. It's what endures after the petals wilt and the perfume fades.
Love is two old people doing crossword puzzles together at the end of their lives and helping each other when they become too feeble to walk. It might not sound exciting, but it's better than that. It's love.
