Old Love, Long Relationship

Like a faded notebook or worn-out furniture,
our love has lasted so long
that nothing feels missing, yet sometimes it feels dull—
like the drowsiness of a spring afternoon.

At times, we go back to those first days,
to the spark that helps us carry through the years.
That is love, that is happiness,
that is what it means to be in a long relationship.

Old love, long relationship.
It wasn’t only sweet and beautiful.
There were clashes, scratches, and plenty of scars.
But after all that, now we don’t need words—
a glance is enough.
And for this love that has endured,
we keep walking a longer road together.
