The years had flown in the heartbeat of the lovers.

Ritual of daily living perfected within 67 years.

Colour of their experiences blended into the white of their hair.

Gentle patter of their shuffle whilst holding hands down the road.

Etched fondness of secret moments reflected in their smiles.

The two could not be imagined apart as each were a pair.

Arguments were synchronised to a minimum over time.

Strength was found in the one heart beat that twinned their heart's.

One without the other became unblemished in younger generations memories.

This is the example that loved ones have yearned to find in love.

Forever in our hearts the unity of a couple even upon ones death.

Mourned loss as it was half her heart lost when his breath died.

We hold his memories as fragile diamonds within our heart's.
