It's Simple; I Believe It To Be More

As of late I've been thinking about this so called honey moon phase.. 
As a kid I never quite understood the very thought of it. 
is he only your prince charming for a year? 
or
does love lessen with time?
Ridiculous.
Your love is what you make it. 
How is it possible to simply let go of the way he makes you feel when he calls you beautiful when he calls you his?  
Does your memory fade of the first time he told you he loved you & you said it back without the shadow of a doubt?
Do you forget about the nights you stayed up thinking of him and wondering if you ever cross his mind? 
The very moment he became yours . . .
you felt like you could fly. 
and on your very first kiss you did.
& now that you have him, did you lose the desire to be loved by him?

Perhaps you will say I do not understand.
That I have not yet been married for 10, 20, 30 years. . .
If that crosses your mind here are my sentiments-
How lucky are you, to have had the opportunity to love and be loved by the one you swore yourself to forever.  That you have learned and grew and struggled and loved together for so long. . . That you are a living example of relentless love. Through storms and darkness you stayed together, sometimes carrying you both through on your own..  You are living my very dream and that of many others who haven't been blessed with the opportunity-or those who have not reached it yet. 
I simply do not believe in such a thing as love fading, you shouldn't either. How could you?
Are there no butterflies when he gets home from work and sweeps you off your feet? If not where did they go? Reach down and find them. Then find him and smother him in kisses. Don't let the thoughts of others lead you to believe that you've lost the love you'd die to keep. 

17 months isn't a very long time. . . I know this, but i live in today to keep our love tomorrow. And I will do the same until we reach that 10 that 20 that 30 years. 
Our love will not fade. How do I know this?
