They say if you love someone enough, you'll let them go.

I want to tell a story of something that happened in my day.

So today I was driving in MidValley's carpark and whilst trying to exit, there was this old couple. Both looked pretty old, probably around the 70-80 year old range. So they wanted to cross over to the other side of the "road" or wtv you call it in carparks. Problem was, there were too many cars passing by each time they tried to cross.

When I reached right in front of them, I stopped, and signalled for the old man to cross. He said thanks and then grabbed the old lady's hand and started guiding her across. She had a walking stick and was walking really slowly and all but not once did he let her hand go. He just kept supporting her the whole way. She took a while to cross, but the whole time I was observing them, the old man kept turning to face me and say thank you.

At that moment, just watching how he was patiently guiding her across and how he was so grateful that I had let him pass, just left me overwhelmed with emotions. Well, reading this may not seem much to you guys, but the whole setting and the old man's expression and the way he looked at his wife while holding her hand across, was just something you'll have to see to feel. To see that true love does exist, even when you're at a ripe old age, really touched me. To see that what I've always dreamt of having could actually be real and not something from my imagination just hit straight home to my heart.

So what happened after that? As I was watching them, I felt so touched that I cried. Yea. I CRIED. I had no idea why but my tears just kept flowing. I was so embarrassed the old man would see me and think I was weird or something :/ Oh well, I'm a sucker for true love scenarios like that. It's like watching something out of a movie but even better, because you know it's for real and things like this do happen to real people.

All in all, I was just really happy for them, seeing them and happy that our paths crossed today. Because today has showed me that there is such a thing as true love, no matter how old you are and that reignited the hope in me, to know that i want what the old man and old lady have, and to know that someday, in the distant future, i may be lucky enough to find just that person who'll lead me across the road when I need him to (:
