In years to come,
they'll say it's the greatest love story
to ever grace the face of the planet.
Their friends all
laugh and smile,
because they know it
wouldn't have happened any other way.
But they don't think of it
that way. To them,
their love is a quick smile, a laugh.
Their love is stale nights
with a classic car, sitting
under the stars, trying not
to remember what brought them there
but wanting to remember all at once.
Their love isn't
passionate; it's cuddling together
on the couch and reading.
It's that kind of love
that doesn't burn so everyone can see it.
Not an obvious love, at first,
but you see them
together
and realize that they were
meant to be.
And so when people say
their love is the greatest story
they'll ever hear,
they just look at each other
with knowing smiles.
