CHAPTER 12

Passionate love is the idea of love where people are crazy about each other and they are always together. People usually think of younger couples for this, rather than ones who have been together for years because they are the ones who are still in this stage. They tend to do crazy things for each other and think about each other all the time. 

There are relationships that stay in the passionate stage longer than others, where they are still just as crazy about each other as when they first started seeing each other. This song shows a sort of transition into the companionate stage where there is just as much of the passion, but there is more of a commitment, as well. You see each other as idealized versions of each other and you have an idea that they may leave you for someone who may be "better." The ideas of perfection and worrying so much about losing the other person suggests the stage of passionate love, but there isn't as much of the craziness that passionate love is characterized by.
