three days ago i was visiting a friend in the hospital. i saw an old man, around 70, attending to an equally old woman. he was gently feeding her, talking to the nurses, and he slept on a chair beside the old woman's bed.
the woman has a heart disease. the man took him there.
they're not married or related. when asked, he just said, 'we were lovers in high school. i don't know why she left me.'
and the old woman innocently slept, with him occasionally feeling her forehead to make sure her fever has subsided.
