a genuine display of love

on my way home today, i witnessed a simple but moving act of love. it was raining the whole day and i was just hoping to reach home as soon as possible and seek shelter from the rain. as i was walking up the stairs, a couple was walking down. what caught my attention immediately was that the guy, who was holding the umbrella, was only half-sheltered by it. it seemed so natural for him to want to keep his partner dry. and they didn't seem like those lovey-dovey couples still in the honeymoon period, in which the guy would sometimes try too hard to impress the girl. rather, his noble act was one that he didn't have the intention of letting his girl know, simply walking down together in a perfectly normal, mundane manner older couples do.

this is what true love is about i guess, having no qualms about putting the ones you love before yourself. <3
