Keeping the LOVE alive

Easier said than done for those who have been in a ‘committed’ relationship for quite sometime would understand what I am talking about and for those who have just kick started their relationship or are ‘planning’ too… don’t bother read this. It might skew your judgment towards not being in a relationship.

I started my relationship like how any movie starts off with excitement, romance, dreamy nights, love songs are all of the paraphernalia. Initially everything was an event. The first day we went in the bus together. The first day we walked together. Hell! Even the first time he waved at me was an ‘event’. That was centuries ago.

Reality check: All that happens in the first year of your ‘love’ is like the screensaver in your computer…lasts only for seconds the moment you snap back from your joy ride the sight is ugly!

Take me for the guinea pig, I have eaten chewed and swallowed the dark shades of love and I can vouch for it that the first year of your relationship is the only honeymoon period that you will have. After that follows those small fights then big fights then catastrophes (breaking of valuable items) are not such a pleasant sight to see or experience. Now I would get into the nitty-gritty’s of a relationship with the help of a ‘Relationship curve’.

Introduction : “You’re my life darling”, “I want to be with you ALWAYS”, ”Can’t wait to see you!”, “Your in my dreams everyday”,”No problem take your time I will wait”

Growth: “Who is this girl/boy your talking to?”, “Why dint you call me in the morning”, “Do you have to fight for EVERYTHING?”, “You never told me that!”, “You lied to me!”, “Could you make it fast”

Maturity: “We don’t have to ALWAYS be together”, “Do we have to celebrate EVERY anniversary?”, “I have a match today can we postpone our date?”, “You coming or should I leave”, “Feeling sleepy talk to you later”, “Do we have to go out today?”

Decline: “Things are not working out between us”, “Your such a creep!”, “You ruined my life”, “Why the hell did I meet you”, “I met this other girl/boy”

Well if you identify yourself with any of these stages you know where you’re going! Just kidding, though it all seems to take out that magic out of love it’s not all that bad.

There are some people in this world you cannot live with and cannot live without also.
