What is love?
Today I would say, Love is like a complete meal.
You are offered a menu which includes a list of selection. This is when you get to know about the other half more, you can't help but want to know more, similar to wanting to know how the dishes are being cooked this time round.
You begin with the appetizer/starter which is usually the freshest of all courses. In a relationship, this is the honeymoon period when both parties will give anything to each other. You practically just soak yourselves in the sweetness of love, nothing else matters.
You move on to the main course which is also the most filling. This stage in the relationship relates to usually knowing the person inside out and in some cases, it will include sex. Remember this is the main course whereby you'll feel full and contented! You will feel extra satisfied with your other half, it's like a feeling of completion because you have one another inside out now.
You are then offered a cup of coffee or tea after the main course. This is when you choose how bitter or sweet you want your beverage to be. At this point of the relationship, some may choose to add extra sugar and continue living in the sweetness of love; while other choose not to do anything to the drink and leave it bitter which in the case signs of can't be bothered anymore with the relationship may start to show. You might hate the bitter drink so much and you see no need to add any sugar to it, so you choose to push it aside.
The dessert is always a bonus after a meal. At this point, some may reject the offer because you get too full after the appetizer, main course and beverage. You may at this moment choose to leave or may even have left the table. If a guy/girl serves you dessert and you accept it, this will be a happy ending because once again, at the end of the day, you both soak in the sweetness of love and complete each others' meal!
Will you complete my meal?
