it all starts with a little saccharine feeling in your heart and it creeps up and warms you up more and more. eye contact. slowly but surely you feel more attached. and then you start to hold hands. share a first kiss. have conversations that dwells on the future. a future. you become closer than friends. and even closer so.
and if it were a straight relationship, the courtship ends in a relationship. some are short, some are longer. some can't wait to get married. others wait a little longer. and then it comes to marriage. giving your life to someone and knowing that this counts to something bigger than life. you go on a honeymoon together. there's an end to the courtship and boyfriendgirlfriendship. you're no longer a dating couple. it's a new beginning. a honeymoon period begins again.
and then it's time to have kids. you're right at the beginning together again. starting something new. and your kids grow older. and you begin another something together. and then they grow old and support you. you begin another honeymoon period together. sharing a blissful dependent life now. and you grow old together.
a cycle. repetitions of new beginnings.
so in a gay relationship. it begins on a friendship to a courtship to a relationship. and then. what happens? how do you stay together when it gets older and rusty? what new beginnings are you going to share? or do you slowly drift apart?
