Before I may progress further, I need to backtrack to 30th December last year.
It was the beginning of a period whereby my life was happy. I felt a circular sense of satisfaction as I had spend almost everyday with the love of my life. We both already know it but I haven't told her that it was those days when I tied all knots dead and made up my mind that she is THE one.
It was 88 days of togetherness. We have this mutual friend, Aaron Sim (who will be surprised to see his name being published here) who even said to us: "Gosh, Josh! You and Xian are practically married!"
We have become so used to the whole long distance thing, so much so that this experience thought us a lot about what was it like actually to be together, for an extended time. This then led us out of what people call as the "honeymoon" season.
For me that was it because I had that knack to weave the most glorious love letters to her only to see myself lose the ability to churn it on a daily basis as the great days together passed.
It wasn't because I ceased to be romantic (I believe I'd still be able to pack a punch!). It was more of the fact that that phase has passed. And we're just "moving up the ladder".
However in relationships, at their early stages, it starts with that spark and the gleam wanes off in due course of time. But seeing the "phase" has passed us, I don't want it to just be that phase. May it be a feeling that I can revisit anytime I want.
I am against degenerative love. Degenerative in the sense that love's intensity decreases because of the familiarities accumulated through the years. I will make sure that what transpires for the rest of my life with her will be a heck of an experience as everyday is worth celebrating.
Those 88 days saw an end to it too and getting used to the separation was hard to handle, I must say, but we are back and kicking. It was the GREATEST 88 days... Sighs.
Tomorrow when I wake up I will give her a call to tell her I love her.

Remember what I said about dopamine and oxytocin?
Dopamine and oxytocin! :P
Well, I actually found this piece really sweet. Keep it up, with the writing and with the girl. :)
