love built to last

Sometimes breaking something is easier than making it. Or maybe for most of the time.

Same thing in relationship. Starting to know each other and beginning to like your partner is really exciting. Especially the part when we like somebody and that somebody likes us back. The feeling is so great that we feel like we're flying high in the air and there are flowers in our heart that begin to blossom.

Then we confess to each other about our feelings, about how strong our loves are to her/him. And we become girlfriend and boyfriend. We are the happiest person on earth.

But what is harder is to stay together for as long as it can be. I have friends who were together as a couple. They started their relationship like two years ago and it wasn't the easy one. They had to overcome many hindrances. But the strong of a love is invincible. Their relationship went quite well.. until recently. They broke-up. They guy said he doesn't have the feeling anymore. That's all.

I honestly understand how hard it is to make the excitement we had in the beginning to stay put. It requires patience. Me and my girlfriend, sometimes we have this 'silent' phase, an awkward moment. when we rarely talk to each other. and get annoyed by each other easily. But I try not to keep it like that for too long. And sometimes if it wasn't me, she will be the one who approaches me first.

So, relationship is really a two way process. it's like trying to make a sound by clapping which you need both of your hands. it takes two to tango.

A lesson learned for me. To be careful, to keep this relationship as long as possible or as long as eternity as I hope it would.

  1. so very true.
    the most exciting part of a relationship is actually the chasing phase, the heart-pounding season.
    when everything is uncertain, and all you can think of is whether he/she feels the same for you.

    ive experienced them all. the get to know phase, the heart pounding phase, the sweet talking phase, the indifference phase, the withering phase, and lastly the letting go phase.

    yes, its avoidable - but it needs 2 to tango.
    hopefully id find my tango partner - that would continue dancing with me, no matter how fast or slow the beat is.

    keep tango-ing! make it last. you two make such a cute couple =)
