Passion is great, but it's also chaotic, and passion can make for both dizzying highs, and crushing lows. What remains after the passion is gone should feel comfortable and right to you. If you're mourning the loss of initial "thrill" as if the entire relationship is suffering - re-evaluate and be sure it's what you want under true, harsh lighting, not just the candlelight.

Twisted you might be worrying that you are saying goodbye to Passion. You can see its tombstone and you are laying flowers at its feet. One partner for the rest of your life can sound scary. Do you miss the excitement and unpredictability of having some one new? Maybe thats why you have this feeling towards this other individual. Passion can be dangerous and having witnessed what it can do in it's wake, I personally prefer peace and serenity.
Although I mostly agree with Glyph, there are ways you can reignite the spark with your SO. Think of new things to do to break the monotonous routine. Think of undertaking new, fun and exciting activities together. And above all find re-assurance and peace in having searched and found. What you have now is a lot more precious and rare.

Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
