The pot of tea

A follow up for the story of the first post

What would you describe a relationship as? I would desribe it as a pot of tea.

It has many different kind and different people will have different likings.

Once the tea is brewed, it is hot and taste good.
If the tea is too bitter for one's liking, sweetener is needed.
When the tea turned cold. Heating up of the tea is needed.
After a few brewings, the tea tastes blend. At this time, one have to add in more tea leaves.


Like a relationship, it started out hot and sensual. The passion at its highest point.
After the 'honey-moon period', things go downhill. Arguements became more often than the usual sweet nothings. This is when the sweetener is needed. Keep the passion alive, put your effort in the sweet nothings rather than the bitter arguements.
As a human beings, we usually take things for granted. Appreciation for the effort of the other will suddenly went missing. And this is the time where the two have to put in the effort, to heat up the tea, to arise the enthusiasm.
Lastly, people may get used to what is revolving around them in life and boredness may come into the picture. And this is when more tea leaves should be added.

Without all these efforts, this pot of tea will only end their fate by going down the sewer

In my case, we loved, we hated and we tried real hard for this relationship.
We have had happy moments; sad times; quarrels and sweetness.
There are thoughts of giving up. We still held onto each other tightly.
We supported one another through the roughness of life. Adding sweetener along the way.
However, other than the love and the support from the couple, the blessings from others are needed too. Especially the more important people in life.

Perhaps its karma, perhaps its a test, perhaps its a curse. No one knows.

After a long way, the day came. Is it the end of the nightmare or the beginning of another? No one have the answer. We have broken up, for the sake of the big picture. Not giving anyone unhappiness as they don't like the thought of us being together. not giving the both of us any pressure.

It seems like a win-win situation but no one gets to know the heart-ache within. How long will this continue? Will we make it? Will we regret this decision? Only time can show us the answer.
