I really love the way that a relationship moves seamlessly from that fiery and overwhelming new love to that instinctive and natural in-it-for-the-long-haul love. In the beginning it’s loud and shiny and different and you can smell their skin on you when you’re apart and you lose your train of thought because their face appears and you smile at texts, and you wear matching underwear and jump on them the second the door is closed. It’s months of learning what they like, learning what they taste of and how your bodies fit together. But when it’s an established love, a love where you can fart in bed and borrow their deodorant, there’s a misconception that it’s boring and lesser than the fire of a brand new romance. So wrong. When the initial intensity has died down you are either left with a burnt ember and you go your separate ways, or you’re left with a constant flame that is the most reassuring and nurturing feeling in the world. You have a buddy for life, an anchor when you’re floating, a body to call home- You know their crevices and curves better than they do, and you can’t smell them on your skin because your scents have entwined so closely that they are one and the same. I have never felt safer than I do in an established and long term relationship- new love is a beautiful thing but it wears off so easily, exhausts you and bleeds you dry. With a best friend and lover you are built up every day to be yourself comfortably, and I wouldn’t swap that for anything.
