Lovelyme, here is a poem that I learned when I was a teenager. Being in England, you probably have seen it before. It is set to music which is quite lovely and popular in its days.
Here goes:
Believe Me, If
by Thomas Moore
Believe me, if all those endearing young charms,
Which I gaze on so fondly today,
Were to change by tomorrow, and fleet in my arms,
Like fairy-gifts fading away,
Thou wouldst still be adored, as this moment thou art,
Let thy loveliness fade as it will,
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still.
It is not while beauty and youth are thine own,
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known,
To which time will but make thee more dear;
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets,
But as truly loves on to the close,
As the sunflower turns on her god, when he sets,
The same look which she turned when he rose.

Expressing and receiving affection, companionship and love, are things that we all crave. Yet there is a common misconception that our needs for intimacy and romance fade as we grow older. This film actively challenges the cultural assumptions that along with age comes a disinterest in sex and intimacy. It reminds us that sexuality remains a part of our lives until the very end.
The men and women, couples and singles profiled in this documentary openly share their experiences with love, romance and growing old. Their discussion of the place of sexuality in their lives is in vivid counterpoint to society's perceptions of sex among the Elderly. As Time Goes By shows us a community of vital, social people who want what most of us want: Love and affection, whether it takes the form of hand-holding, cuddling, or intercourse. Perhaps the way these seniors see themselves will change the way we see them and, eventually, how we see ourselves.
"In a culture that seems obsessed with both youth and sex, the sexuality of older adults receives little serious attention. This film is a frank discussion of the emotional and physical needs of the elderly, which don't disappear when a person has passed some arbitrary chronological milestone."

'True' love does not fade with time. There is no doubt that it changes because we change with time and experiences. I have been married for 46 years to the most wonderful man. People used to laugh when after 15 years of marriage I would say that we were still on our honeymoon. During the years of raising 5 children we spent most of our spare time tent camping with our children, while looking forward to the day when it would be just he and I. Don't get me wrong, we loved and enjoyed our time with our children but longed for a time when we could devote all our attention just to each other as we started our life together with 2 children by my previous husband, a mistake of my youth. After the children were raised and he retired early, we spent the next 10 years 'tent' camping together, even spending a couple of months in Florida, living in a tent, without electricity yet. Now we are in our 70's and he has many many health problems. We still love each other and do not look forward to one of us leaving this earth. He has had strokes, seizures, heart failure, kidney failure and anemia, just to mention a few of his most serious problems. I take care of his needs, make sure that he gets his medication and proper diet and he marvels that I still love him enough to do for him in his time of need. But guess what.......I know that if the situation were reversed, he would do the same for me. I remember when we first married and he treated me like a queen but he never said those magic 3 words "I love you". I knew that he did but still longed to hear him say it. Well, after about 19 years of marriage he rolled over in bed and said, "Honey, I never thought that you would love me this long and this much". Since that day, he tells me "I love you" over and over throughout each day. So I have to say, "No, true love does not fade."

Passion does fade but in it's place a deep abiding caring for each other developes. You want to pleasure the object of your affection and you learn over time what really pleases your lover. Then it just gets better and better!
