Beautiful
dark clouds cover the sky. Such a welcome change after summers! What a
wonderful romantic evening it is! When Pranay comes home, we would go on a long
drive just like old days. It’s been so.. And suddenly the words ‘old days’ echo
in my mind and twinge of sadness rises inside me.
I
don’t even remember the last time we did something romantic. I never thought
that those amazing courtship days would vanish in thin air after getting
married. I feel tears rolling down thinking about the beautiful past and a bland
present I share with the same man.

It's up to each of us as partners not to let the present be bland. The romance of newness should grow into something else and then grow into something else. Communication is key.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are right its upto the partners to not let things become bland. But a lot of couples forget that !!
Deleterecreate it...bring it back. :)
