When just hearing their name made your heart beat a little faster.
When every message, every touch, every tiny gesture felt like a whole love letter.
Late-night calls. Silly emojis. Holding hands at traffic lights.
Back then, love lived in the smallest things.
But now⦠things are different.
Youāre still together. Still committed. Still sharing a life.
But the air feels heavier.
The laughter comes a little slower.
The silence ā it lingers longer.
The morning texts have faded.
Date nights are replaced by takeout and scrolling.
And instead of āI miss you,ā itās āDonāt forget to pay the gas bill.ā
Youāre not falling apart. But youāre not falling deeper in love either.
And that quiet space between you? Itās starting to feel like a gap.
Iāve been there.
Most of us have.
And hereās the part no one warns you about:
Most couples donāt fall out of love. They just stop showing it.
Not because they donāt care. But because life gets loud.
Comfort creeps in. And slowly, without even noticing, romance becomes routine.
But love ā real, lasting love ā isnāt something you find and keep.
Itās something you keep choosing. Every day. Especially on the days itās easier not to.
So letās talk about it.
Letās unpack why long-term love starts to feel like a memory ā
And how we can gently bring the spark back without waiting for a crisis.
