What we see is governed by our viewpoint. A particular scene/object/event is seen differently by different people and also the change is brought about by time.At a particular moment of time the meaning of what was earlier may change altogether.Thus change is the essence and we cannot avoid it but adjust to it and be happy.
Love is endless and is straight and constant.It has no ups and down. What appears to be up and down or appears to increase or decrease is infatuation or attachment.
