Two hearts forever tethered to each other, fear, which one, Death, will visit first. And as time passes, a sadness swells within our hearts, thinking about it. Acceptance of the inevitability of the other's death; triggers apprehension, a very human experience. And such concerns can overwhelm conjoined hearts; proving love is a two-edged sword. Memories entertain like-minded minds, sharing theaters of recognition. And watching old family films of days gone by; chuckle, recalling long-forgotten escapades of a lifetime of dreams, we equally shared. Having lived full lives with no regrets two half souls fused into one; warmly wrapped in a blanket of love. Fond thoughts oft drift to yesteryears; trying to offset the tide of tears that start to ebb and flow as the last years unfold. The question of who will die first; fuels fear of uncertainty within both our hearts. When my time comes to pass, I'll close my eyes, let out a breath, and, with a sigh, slip away! Dying's not the scary part; leaving my soulmate behind, is!

Ebb and flow of uncertainty is more frightening, than dying, I agree. Agree on all the comments given to you, just can't say it as well. Big Congrats!
