Where Do You Go To (My Lovely) - Peter Sarstedt

Yesterday, while I was reading at a coffee shop in the city, this old couple well into their 70’s was sitting right besides me enveloped in this intense conversation about film. What fascinated me most wasn’t the subject of the conversation, but the passion in which they spoke with. Hand gestures were flying rampant and they had this deep and involving eye contact with one another. There was this sense of intimacy, a vibe of absolute comfort between these two individuals, who probably spent most of their adult lives together. They were engaging in this invigorated discourse even at their old age. At that moment I realized that passion never dies, it’s forever ingrained in us, even as we grow wrinkled and ripe, we still have that need to express our passions. For about an hour, I watched these two in admiration, knowing that one day I want exactly what they have.
