I love when Dee talks about lust.

This is basically what happened w/ my ex and me. We still loved each other but we weren't feeling that "OMG I really want to jump your bones" thing anymore. Maybe I'm overly romantic, but I think even if you've been w/ someone for 50 years, you should still feel that SOMETIMES.

If the relationship is new and they're already saying it...yes, be Bono and walk on.
