Love
Nothing makes one yearn for love more than the recognition of the fruit of its fulfillment in another.
It’s heartwarming to see the way he is so careful and solicitous of his wife, who’s now pregnant with their first child. To see the way his arm comfortably settles around the curve of her hip when they sit, the way their bodies naturally gravitate towards each other in states of repose. The way his eyes light up when she enters the room, and the way she sparkles back at him. He becomes more lively, more cheerful, his humor warm and inclusive. She’s quiet and sweet - you can see she thinks the world of him in the way her chin tilts up so as to gain a better view of his visage.
The kind of love that keeps them warm at night and makes the world go round.
That kind of love.
