I Watch

When I was little I pretended to throw up when they kissed.
But I watched.
They still hold hands wherever they go.
I watch.
I see my Mom blush when Dad pays her a compliment. Still after 41 years, she blushes.
I watch.
They tell the story of their first meeting. Both having different details.
I watch.
She touches his arm whenever they are close.
I watch.
He still looks at her with twitterpated eyes.
I watch.
Seeing my parents still in love makes me feel whole.
That is why I still watch.
