All those caterpillars
that became butterflies
had turned back into caterpillars
after all those times.

All those times
we spent as lovers
have come to this now our honeymoon stage is over,
the Law of Diminishing Returns is taking over.

What is it, you ask?
I'm no lawyer to take just,
but I'll explain it to you my love,
everyone goes through this, not just us.

Economists says,
the more you have something,
it worth to you less.
That's what we are, that kind of being.

The more we spend time together,
the less the pleasure.
The more we give,
the less we appreciate.

But hey, don't fret.
It doesn't mean we don't love each other,
or that we love each other less,
It's just nature, I guess.

I think it's a good thing,
to have this kind feeling.
Since I have the tendency to be obsessed,
this, I think is for the best.

Also to prevent from being satiated,
or from being dependent,
to stand up with our own two feet,
and from time to time, miss a kiss.

Because we cannot give what we don't have,
we should learn what they call the greatest love.
It's to love yourself so you can love,
with it, you can give all the love you have.

If I am complete and you are as well,
we can support and love each other very well.
Without missing a piece of our identity,
without having doubts in ourselves.

So this law, my love, is just a proof,
that we are getting more mature.
In our love we are more sure,
that whatever obstacles, we can endure.
The Law of Diminishing Returns not only happens in the economy, but in relationships as well. This stage is a make or break point. Make or break? Choose wisely.

— The End —
