I think at some point in a relationship the honeymoon period ends and thats when both parties need to be sure to make an effort to keep the spark alive. Its hard though with life...work, kids, bills, busy schedules. It becomes easy for a person to take the other one for granted or to think "I have him/her so I don't need to try anymore." People make the mistake of thinking romance is grand gestures like weekends away at a 5 star hotel but its easier than that. A text saying "Can't wait to see you later" or "I miss you" is something. Also, I think a lot of people "fall out of love" because they never truly loved the other person. People make the mistake of confusing real love with lust or infatuation and probably throw the word "love" around too easily. Real love is loving that person regardless if they put on 20 lbs or if they lose their job or something unfortunate happens in their life. Real love is loving someone unconditionally.
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from Hell,
blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?
And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?
