The 60-year-old couple tried to rekindle the fire of love, and the wife sighed: I can't get that feeling back
To be honest, my marriage with Lao Zhang is now like a glass of boiled water that has been left out for a long time, tasteless. This year, we are both 60 years old, and it is said that after so many years, the relationship should be as old as the old wine gets older and more fragrant, but in fact? It feels like it's been diluted by time, getting lighter and lighter.
A few nights ago, Lao Zhang suddenly said that he wanted to go to the park. I thought, I'll go, it's okay anyway. Walking in the park, the evening breeze was blowing, watching the sunset slowly sink, Lao Zhang suddenly held my hand. His hands, how strong they used to be, are now wrinkled and calloused.
"Wife, after so many years, it's really hard for you." He said it sincerely.
"Don't talk about that." I responded, but I didn't really feel much in my heart. It's not that I'm not grateful, but I feel that over the years, our love has been almost worn out by life, and sweet words sound a little fake.
Lao Zhang began to mention the dream of his youth again, to be honest, who hasn't been young and frivolous? Back then, we wanted to travel the world, but now we don't even bother to go home.
"Wife, why don't we try to get that feeling back?" Lao Zhang looked at me with a little expectation in his eyes.
Get back your senses? Easy to say. I smiled wryly, "How?" Do you want to fall in love again? ”
"yes, why not?" Lao Zhang seems to be quite serious.
So, we started the so-called "Rekindle the Fire of Love" program. Watching movies, shopping, eating snacks...... Everything that could be done was done. But to be honest, every time the event ends, I feel like "Is that all?" "Feelings.
On the park bench that day, Lao Zhang held my hand tightly, but I was a little absent-minded. It's not that I don't cherish it, but I just feel that all this is like this...... Not interesting?
"Lao Zhang, do you think that we are actually quite boring like this?" I finally spoke my mind.
Lao Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "Yes, I think so too." Maybe it's getting old. ”
I looked at him and suddenly felt a little distressed. We used to love each other so much, but now we have become like this. Is it the fault of time? Or is it our own problem?
Later I figured it out, but it's not. Time has only made us see the truth of life: love cannot be vigorous forever, and it will eventually be dull. And what about our own problems? It may be that they are too obsessed with the feeling of the past and ignore the present life.
So Lao Zhang and I decided to let go of the past, cherish the present life, and no longer deliberately look for the feeling of "rekindling the fire of love", but learn to find happiness in the ordinary. We began to pay more attention to each other's lives and feelings, cooking together, watching TV, going for walks...... Although it is still as plain as water, it has more truth and warmth.
Love is not a fairy tale, there are not so many vigorous stories. Eventually, we all have to learn to find happiness and fulfillment in the ordinary. Although Lao Zhang and I can't find the passion and romance of our youth, we have found the mutual affection and quiet years that belong to the elderly.
"Lao Zhang, in fact, it's good now." I said with a smile.
"Yes, wife. As long as you're by my side, anything. Lao Zhang also smiled.
At that moment, I suddenly felt that even though we are old, even if love has become dull as water, as long as we rely on each other, it is the greatest happiness.
So, don't keep trying to get back to the past, and cherish your current life and the people around you! Because love will eventually return to dullness, and true happiness is often hidden in these seemingly ordinary daily life.
