Butterflies

"Some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies." -Quote from a Sex and the City episode.

This quote often comes to mind when I am in a new relationship. It is so simple. Why settle? Love is about passion and excitement. Whether or not you experience anything similar to butterflies in your stomach is a good way to determine right away if a relationship is at least headed in a good direction.

Naturally, however, butterflies fade as comfort grows and time passes. But should it? Although the excitement may not be as often, should it not still exist from time to time?
