A 2.30am post...

No, I'm not working at the moment but rather, my slumber was interrupted.

I woke up thinking, what happens when the fuel for the fire of passion runs out?
When we get complacent and think that we know what our partners are thinking?
When we stop listening to one another?
When somehow or other, the realisation that the relationship has hit a point where it's too comfortable?
When all there is left is platonic love?
Do we become lifelong friends? Does it mean that physical contact is no longer required? What happened to the hugs and kisses that used to be delivered?

There are some people that believe that showing affection physically, such as holding hands, hugging, kissing and basically just skin contact is not necessary.

I for one am not that sort. I need to feel the reassurance of touch. The warmth of a hug and the passion of a kiss.

When these things go missing or are denied, it gives me the impression that the love that once was, no longer exists. Some will find the excuse saying that well, "it's been so long and I don't feel the need to remind you all the time about how I feel for you".

But it's only natural to have physical contact to show care and affection isn't it? A child feels safe, secure when he/she is held. Even a pet dog feels the need to be patted.

I try to explain these things but they seem to fall on deaf ears and nothing has changed. It's all for the sake of keeping it all together now.

You know what? It's depressing.

It's also the fastest way to infidelity.
