As I gaze into your eyes, my heart flutters. As I stroke your hand, you smile. We raise our glasses, touch them gently but utter not a word, no need. I hand you a red rose, a symbol of our love …..

‘Oy, wake up, you lazy devil. Look you’ve spilt beer in your lap, you’ve knocked over my flowers and you’re dribbling like a two-year-old. 

Now get your fat ass into the kitchen, you’ve got the washing up to do, and when you’ve done that you can get me a cup of tea and don’t forget my hot water bottle!

My eyes start to close my eyes and I drift away. I feel a prod. Okay, I’m going!

    Ah poor man! Little did he know, when a dreamy eyed young boy, that such would be his fate 😀

    I love the twisting turn of events from stroking her hand to sounding like a bitter old couple 😀 Great use of the photo! I needed that laugh as well.
