Expectancy's No Spark ... or is it?

At first, it is exciting; discoveries are made, and as the relationship is being formed, expectations are being developed.

How much time do you let pass to smother that initial spark, that was once, in fact, a spark. 

An aura envelops the beings until one day, the aura fades, and all that is left is just being. 

.... and that being is normal.You say that everything will return to normalcy (alluding to Harding), and you allude to the fact that normal is, in fact, not a good thing or desired. 

Couldn't you just make that spark carry on -- the spark can be what is normal, not the doldrums in which you seem to be adrift. 

Don't resort to normalcy. Transcend time with that spark. [even though expectancy could be by the fact that you two know each other very well; you appreciate every aspect of the relationship, and yet it has become a bore - something that was once cherished so much has unfortunately become a bore. Look at yourself, for instance, that spark is still there underneath your own thick scaly skin that has hardened, but you have given up - you have not fought for it. 

Think about the time period you were in when the spark began, and think about the time period you are in now while fighting the doldrums. You have changed also - you need to make the most of the period you are in. It is not going to be the same experience-filled time, because this is a different time. 

Something really great can be created here, since, you already know so much about each other. But maybe you hate it because playing the game was more fun to you than actually winning it. [and you don't know what to do next]. Ride the wave out, and since you are in the doldrums, perhaps this is a chance for you to reevaluate yourself and see where you went wrong on your part and formulate a plan to fight for what can be what was once great. 

You know everything about each other, and you have become one. This is how it should be. You don't always have to be talking or having some fun adventure. You can find peace in just being, with each other. 

Take it or leave it, but at least think about it. I leave you this quote:

"Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark, in the hopeless swamps of the approximate, the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all. Do not let the hero in your soul perish, and leave only frustration for the life you deserved by have never been able to reach. Check your road and the nature of your battle. The world you desire can be won. It exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours."
