Silence

An old couple sitting next to me in the doctor's office, reading the paper, talking about nothing:

---She: "Richard Gere is 60 Today"


He: Pretends to care, yet it is obvious to me that he does not. How could he? It is pointless...uninteresting.


She: My wedding ring is old. I need to have them look at it. I don't want anything to happen to it. What was his name? Yader? Yoder?


He: It's over there on Preston.


She: I know where it is


Silence...---
I do not want to be that couple. I do not want to grow old talking about nothing, meaning nothing but stability or friendship to the other person. I want so much more...
