I think a true love relationship gets better with age. With true love, you’re always hoping and wishing the best for the person you love. Sometimes they can’t see what it is you want for them (they think you’re nagging!), but it’s only because you want them to be the best you know they can be.
I think of very long ago relationships that I thought were love, but they weren’t. I’m not sure what they were – I was in love with the thought of being in love and thought that’s what true love was. It wasn’t.
Then I found my true love. There was definitely a honeymoon phase and we learned about each other as the years went on. It wasn’t always fun and sometimes not pleasant at all. But when it’s your true love, you don’t give up and you don’t turn away. One day, he saw in himself what I always saw.
And it got better, and it keeps getting better.
