Diminished?
No.
The passion born at 17 & 18 continues still.
It is different.
More tolerant, patient, less emergent.
The heart’s swell prompted by conversation,
Attitude,
And angle,
As much as bodily beauty and the scent of cologne mixed with yours.
Memories and fulfilled expectations create an ambiance
Of romance, companionship, fun.
We’ve aged together,
Created a partnership ebbing and flowing and moving with the current
Rage or fad or challenge.
Always,
Love’s longevity keeps us afloat.
I think this is absolutely beautiful!! What a vivid picture you’ve painted of your love.
Thanks for sharing this through Facebook, otherwise I might never have seen it!
