'nymph,

That makes sense, but it very hard to do, I suppose. I guess that's what all this "fusion" fuss is about as well?

The challenge I have is that while my feelings for my W have certainly grown WAAAAYYYY beyond the initial, giddy "infatuation" stage into something much more meaningful, the ROMANTIC parts of those old feelings are still there. Whereas with W, they seem to have faded. I've always been more romantic than she, but now it's a CHASM of difference.

Choc.

I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town
We got married, and swore we'd never part
Then little by little we drifted from each other's heart

At first I thought it was just restlessness
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
In the end it was something more I guess
That tore us apart and made us weep
