From time to time, it may seem as though things are cooled between us: our dances - less frequent; our passion - more tamed. Both the inevitable toll of life's demands and routine holding spontaneity under siege.

These days, moments of intimacy require planning and consideration. You are no longer mine at my leisure. And likewise, I am too often unavailable when you are in your most sensuous moods.

Once, the greatest obstacle to our alignment was simply meeting on the same shore. Now, far more elements conspire against our harmony: more conflicting factors, variables, responsibilities... more. 

But loving you has always been the best kind of challenge. I need you to know that my love for you endures. It may have matured, and it may have deepened, but it has never been diminished. We have a shared history that is something to behold, and nothing can take it away. The longer I love you, the more powerful that history becomes, and I experience it instantly and all at once any moment I feel your touch.

And so, from time to time, it may seem as though things are cooled between us. But pay it no mind and rest assured: when we manage to align, the result is something beautiful.
