The salt-and-pepper in your hair
does not desist me
from acknowledging
that I still love you.
Love is about acceptance
of the person you are
through all seasons
and rollercoasters of time.
It is not about
how we look
or do for each other.

This is how it should be… love is so much more.

Very true – and there is nothing wrong with salt and pepper hair – I have blonde hair so my silver streaks are not as noticeable as I would like them to be!

Gold and silver hair :). There is a ghazal, which goes as follows (translated lines) “Your silver complexion and golden hair …. You are the richest. O fair Maiden, all others are paupers”.

Good points. Love is not about looks or what we do for each other. Those are objective features. It has something to do with recognizing through empathy the subjectivity of the loved one.
