New Versus Old

I was discussing with a friend a few days ago about the differences between new relationships and old relationships. Then we went up north with 4 couples. One couple has been together for 4 years, one for about a year and two very recent couples. According to my friend the difference was very obvious. The oldest couple were very independent from each other and only once and a while going up to each other for affection and affirmation. The newer couples were constantly by each others sides and always kissing and touching. I guess it is true that as time goes by the excitement and thrill goes down into intimacy. Kind of sad in a way because it is not something that can be helped or remedied. It is natural. Well, me being in on of the newbie relationships I hope to drag out this affection thing as long as possible because I am enjoying it immensely!!
