I agree but I think (I believe) the writer must choose ... but yes, indeed. I think it would be stronger (personally) to identify the aspects of long relationships that are like one has just met ... I think it has more resonance for me, who understands this. Perhaps harking back to the time one first approached them, fearing a no. Just another emotional layer that the poet may or may not go with.
