Romance

Tonight my husband and I took the kids on a ride to try and get them to sleep. We listened to them whine and fight it for a while and then in a matter of minutes they were out. We decided to drive around for a little while and while we were driving an old song started playing on the radio. It was a song that we listened to when we were dating and every time I listen to it, it brings back a flood of memories. At that moment I realized how different things are for us now. Not necessarily bad, just different. I miss the butterflies. I miss gazing at each other. Sometimes I feel we are so caught up with life, that the romance is lost. Can those feelings ever come back, or are they just something you feel when you are young and twitterpated? Would I change what we have now? Not really. It's so much deeper than it once was. If I went back, I wouldn't have my girls, or the relationship that comes from knowing and living with someone. Maybe one day life will settle down and we will have those moments again. I guess until then, the songs will have to tide me over and help me cherish those dating days.
