are relationships, after two and a half years, destined to become like a boring marriage? someone told me that passions die after a while and that the real meaning of holding on is when all that's left is a comfortable silence between you.
i'd like to think not.
i'd like to think that in an ideal relationship, couples still talk. you still talk about your dreams, some of them may have been fulfilled, some of them still a dream. you still talk about crazy things and do crazy things like getting a neoprint together. the other person is still your "crush", that one single person who makes your skin tingle with his touch. you still look forward to dates together, you dress up and make sure you smell and look great. you still send messages to each other in the middle of night, sharing sweet nothings. you'd still talk on the phone every so often, just to share a crazy anecdote or to tell him about your awful day.
in the end, an ideal relationship is where the honeymoon lasts forever.
but men, a young but really wise friend said, are goal oriented. you are the goal. and once they have you, there's no such thing as "making things work". you just move on with your lives until one day you realize you're not happy anymore ... or that you're willing to settle.
i will not settle. i will wait for that man who can give me a honeymoon for the rest of our lives together.
