All You Need is Love

        An old man was sitting on his old sofa, staring at the window, hoping that someone he physically admired would come back into his small house. That’s me, Mr.Harrison. An 82 old man who never wanted to look for someone else after she left me. I lived alone in this small house, a place where we grew old together.

        Julia Baker, she used to be the one who cared for and endearing me. Not like the other girls before. She was different. She listened all my sadness or every unimportant things I shared carefully. I met her when I was 19. Her favourite food was sweetened condensed milk. She liked to eat sweetened condensed milk in every single time she had. Most people said that she was weird. But whatever they said, I loved her so much. I often took her picture if we met anywhere. Then I made a sketch of her, put it into my photo album. I always remember the way she looked at me, the song she loved the most, and every little things she did. I really in love with her. I never cared what most people said about her. Because when you’re in love, all you need is love, nothing else.

       And after few years, I asked her in marriage. She accepted it. I didn’t know what I felt that time. But that was the happiest moment in my life. Eventhough we had no child from this marriage -because of something that I cant explain- I still love her with all my heart. But one day,

 “I’m gonna love you. Forever more…"

      That was the last word that she said to me before she died. That was the word that I never forgot.

      I’m 82 now and I live alone in this small house, sitting in your favourite sofa. Feel so lonely. And there is nothing else that I need now. Cause all I need is just your love. But life must flow on, within’ you or without you. And I’m gonna miss you, with a cup of tea and sweetened condensed milk in every Saturday morning.
