Sometimes after many years of being together

One’s relationship may get quite stale.

In other words everything tends to get boring,

So rather than just working on it they want to bale.

They do this because they find that this the easier way out

And they think in their minds

 They will be happier without a doubt.

Because for them there were no longer any great surprises left for them

 Unless a very important date would arise

Making them feel like a prize.

Many refrain from even doing that,

So the other one may be left feeling so unloved,

  Rather ignored and used like a door mat

As they are left feeling like they had been taken for granted;

This also gives them the sense that the love they once shared

Has somehow lost its spark

And become rather outdated and aged

So for now they just want to disengage.

What a lot of people don’t realize is this happens to many

And the most important thing to remember if this happens to you

Is to not give up, as others do plenty.

They do this because it so easily to just flee

 But in the future this could leave them feeling badly.

I know there may be temptations

That may come upon your way

 As you will later come to see

 Because others may take advantage of this

Situation, making you no longer want to stay;

For that is the devil making his way

So you need to take this time now and pray,

As another person may come along giving you that attention you were craving, allowing you to feel like a queen or king for more than a day.

That’s because everything may appear to be great and wonderful at first,

Because with a new relationship that is the perk,

But you will learn everything worthwhile in life does take work.

This other person may have made you feel

 Like you are on top of the world

But most times these feelings will not last

Because the excitement after time will soon fade fast;

You will later come to realize that you had wished

The other relationship you would have stayed

Because you may have some regrets

Of the hasty decisions you had then made.

Sure everything may appear to be perfect in the beginning

As most relationships new do

But they all take that extra effort too.

Just think of all the time you had invested on your loved one,

That you just now so easily threw away

As life appeared to be no longer fun

And so that new relationship had then begun;

That old relationship you were in had just needed construction

As a road needs repair

So do our hearts need tender loving care.

You will find that new relationship

Will not be flawless either,

As there is no such thing as the perfect pair

Because a love that holds true is very rare.

 That love you shared and threw away

May not have always been grand

But just like with the extra time spent

Weeding your own garden

And fertilizing your own lawn so it doesn’t look so rough or bland;

Just think how beautifully green it then becomes

Just like the neighbouring beautiful yard.

Sometimes this work at first appears to be hard

But when that extra effort and attention is now put into place,

How striking the scenery you were able to achieve in every case;

It is just like when you spend that extra energy

On making your relationship work

A happier life you will now get to embrace.
