Yesterday was Valentine's Day. No, this is not a delayed post. For them dates did not matter, every day did.
Every evening her bed at the palliative care center would be wheeled out of the ward and positioned next to the garden. Then he would come, sit next to her, and hold her hands. That was all. And, for them, that was all that mattered. He knew she didn’t have much time Maybe she did too That didn’t matter That was out of their hands The sun played hide and seek With the leaves and the flowers And people flowed around them That didn’t matter At times they spoke Most times they didn’t That didn’t matter They still had each other To love, to care for That was in their hands That was all that mattered So they held hands, always.
