l'amour.

The couples in Villefranche melt my heart. I only took notice to the romance here this evening, while walking around and having dinner by the harbour.

There was one young couple fishing on the rocks. They had three rods set up and cast out. The man was laying on a towel on one of the rocks, with a drink set beside him. The woman was sitting on another rock a bit higher up. She had a baggy white tank top, and had a tattoo on the back of her shoulder.

There was another couple also by the water, sitting back-to-back while reading their books.

Another couple was eating dinner on their balcony that overlooked one of the busy, restaurant-filled squares. They were reading the paper and talking.

I also saw an elderly couple sitting together on a park bench under a palm tree, talking, and watching the people go by. I was one of them.

I couldn't keep thinking to myself how badly I want to do those sorts of things when I'm older. I hope more cute couples catch my eye while I'm here. It makes me so happy.
