When we start a new relationship, we usually have expectations. We may be looking for a lifelong partnership or a non-exclusive fling. Most of the time, if there should be an end to that relationship, we know when it should be. For those looking for lifelong partners, the end is till death takes one of you out of this world when you’re both old and grey.
Love is a beautiful thing. It makes the world go round. It puts butterflies in our stomachs and we float on the clouds. We feel warm inside at the mention of the name of our beloved, and when we remember them, we smile to ourselves. We are happy. Love makes us happy. It’s even better when we are loved back. In that regard, we want to let the whole world hear when we find that special person. We take pictures to immortalize the memory and include them in all our plans and activities. We want to spend every waking moment with them.
