forbidden fruit
...is always best
For many it's where the novelty & electricity wears off in a relationship that many people take to mean there's no love or attraction anymore.
So many people chase that buzz.. but it is never going to last.
When you're young, and you have all the time in the world to settle down at your leisure, by all means chase that buzz... but if you really want to be with someone for a long time, understand that it's hard work at times... that you may actually fall out of love sometimes (just hope that both partners don't go through this at the same time), & that the relationship will never be as energising as when you first hooked up.
I've been with my girlfriend for 12 and a half years... since the last year of highschool, & some of it has been fucking painful, but the vast majority has been rewarding & satisfying.
On a side note, she actually used to live 2 doors down from me when we were about 3 or 4, we were great buddies... she moved away, came back in her mid-teens... then a few years later we hooked up!
True story...
