When fire, passion and desire become comfortable

           It's almost too easy in the beginning. Two hearts so completely in love who can never get enough of each other. You believe it will last forever. Promises to never let it change.  Text messages that made your body feel numb.  Phone calls that you could hear the smile on the other end. Times where you felt like you haven't heard from them for hours but you look at your phone and its really not even been sixty minutes. When they are right beside you but they are not close enough. You've been together all day but the hours seem so short and you need more time. When you can feel your hearts beating together as one. So intense you can't breathe. Feels too good to think that the fire will ever stop burning. Nights turned into mornings and the mornings lasted until the afternoon. Laughing, saying we couldn't stay in the bed all day but it felt so good you just didn't want it to end. But even on the best days. Moments where the connection was so surreal, life still had to be lived beyond the sheets.
When every relationship starts it usually always feels like it's perfect. Its the one that you've always waited for. So effortless. Wondering how you've went so long never knowing what was waiting for you. Never really knowing how love was supposed to feel. But then one day it starts to change.
The once torn up bed sheets now are two bodies simply laying in bed to sleep. The kisses that were so soft and took your breath away are now just memories left lingering on your lips. Hands that were like magnets on each other are now glued to phones. Eyes that could see into the soul are staring at the tv. Conversations of the future and dreams seemed to be lost behind the stress of work and daily routines.
Where does it go? Why do so many things that make a relationship feel so right have to change. Who's to blame when the fire is no longer burning? Should it always be left to one person to keep trying, to keep crying, continue begging for the love that made you believe in forever? It's sad to think it's almost normal for this process to happen.  How can it be fair to allow life to destroy something so amazing. 
Comfortable. 
Seems like a harmless word. 
But in reality it can completely demolish the passion in every form. 
If everything is so easy then there's no need to work for it.  If you already have them and you don't think they will ever leave then there's no energy put into trying to keep them. 
Until it's too late. 
One day you realize the other already has one foot ready to step outside the door.  Once you've allowed it to get to that point it's so much harder to pull it together.
Being in love should never be hard. Loving one another should never feel like a chore.
There's an old saying..
"You don't know what you got till it's gone." If we took a second to think about why you fell in love with eachother in the first place it wouldn't be hard to keep it like that forever. 
Life happens but you should still put effort into living for each other.  
We all have to work but our souls still need love.
You may be comfortable but you can't just give up. 
You may have them but that doesn't mean you can't lose them. 
What is life without love.
What is fire without the heat.
What am I if there is no longer you.
