love is not

What you feel in high school or college.
It is not your first relationship, or first orgasm. It is not your first love.

Love is growing old with someone. Love is taking care of your significant other as they are dying. Love is dying together.

Not what we thought we felt when we're young. Love, real love, is old. 

There are only two couples I have seen that kind of love. My grandmother and grandfather Flynn. And my aunt Joyce and uncle Bill.
