Love beyond Love

while i walk trough that dusty market,
a distracting image passed my eyes,
Not because of what they wear,
Not because of their appearance,

that phenomenon shook my heart,
oh what a lucky man i said...

he walks with two walking sticks on his arm pits,
those legs just hung loose,
no power to move it,
not even a finger...

i dont know since when it happen,
that those two legs stop functioning,
what i know is that,
the other person next to the man...

with all humbleness,
under that burning sun,
she helped this man to walk,
followed him wherever he goes,

with her plastic cup she walks
asking donations from one person to another,
just for their meal this afternoon...

did she knows that this kind of thing will happen??
when they are just two happy and strong young man and woman,
when making vow to each other,
"For better or For worse" ??

is this something that i heard in the myth called "Love beyond Love" ??
"till death do us part, maybe??"


have you ever love someone like this before?
or maybe being loved by someone this way?


XOXO,
