My wife died in January. We were married 62 years. They meet me at a time when I think a lot about love because I read Shakespeare's sonnets. The definition of love is fleeting, so we do not stop writing about it. Even Shakespeare could not catch her. The biggest love stories are all about physical attraction. Romeo and Juliet did not know if they liked the same books or movies. Her love was only physical. After 62 years it will be something completely different. My wife used to say, "We are one." And believe me, she was not someone who likes to exaggerate. Now that she's gone, I understand how right she was. So much in our lives was connected. We were very physical and loving. But we also shared every ritual of our lives. I miss her every time I come out of the cinema and I can not ask her opinion. Or every time I go to a restaurant and she can not taste my chicken. I miss her most at night. We went to bed at the same time every night.?
