Young love is very different from old love. What's that saying, a man at 50 who sees the world the same as he did at 30 is...a fool? I forget the exact phrase. Just that... old love is security and new love is risk... Old love is home and new love is adventure. But sometimes old love is indifference in disguise.
I think it is what you make of it - and it can be horrible and unhappy or warm close and loving. You can never stop working at it, and its how you get through the stuff that happens that makes all the difference
For love to last it must adapt to the changes in ourselves and our partners. I enjoyed your view on love for the long haul.
I enjoyed your poem and your perspective. You appear not only to have life experience, but also have a 'life lived wisdom'. Through this poem you are a teacher. If needed, I will remember and refer to your poem and I will be a thankful student. "Aging Love" is full of Wisdom and Experience! And maybe many lessons learned?
