Love is the decision to fully engage with one another
Perhaps you can still remember the magic you felt at the beginning of your relationship: the butterflies in your stomach whenever you thought of your partner, a thrill of anticipation before meeting, the warm glow while being together. But as the years went by so did the magic. The butterflies flutter somewhere elsewhere, you take your partner for granted and vice versa, and you hardly feel any warmth anymore. You wish for the beginning again, for the easiness.
You have already taken the first step. You decided to work on your relationship, because it is still important to you, because you are not ready yet to let it go. And you shouldn’t. You are at the beginning of a new journey, and I want to be your company.
