Shelf life of love

I wonder... how long can love last?

Suddenly I remember, "Love only has a shelf life of 1 week", like what Xi Men in Liu Xing Hua Yuan said...

Of cos to me it doesn't end in 1 wk, but it varies for ppl. But I definitely do not believe in everlasting love, at least from what I see, there's always a break from the love in between.

That's why sometimes age/timing is v impt. Like let's say u meet the right guy/gal when u're 15 years old. Of cos the 2 of u won't get married, too young already wat... (Unless maybe the gal goes pregnant, oops!)

Then let's say u meet the not-so-right-but-not-so-bad-either guy/gal when u're in ur early 20s, there's still a possibility, until mayB a better one comes by.

BUT... if u've met the same not-so-right-but-not-so-bad-either guy/gal when u're in ur mid or late 20s, there the probablity will be 99%. Like I've said it's the timing/age.

And because I think love itself has an expiry date, this is precisely why people get married. Like when u get married, there's new excitements, so it "prolongs" the expiry date of love.

Then aft u get married and the expiry date is near, the kids comes along to postponed the expiry date again. By then, u would have been already "used to" having the other person by ur side, which adds infinte amt of "preservatives" to love.

And at the end of the day, even though we thought we got the right guy/gal in the past, just that it wasn't the "right time", it doesn't matter, cos they may be the "wrongs" if the relationship got far in time. The impt thing is that we learn from all the past right/wrongs, and not make the same mistake again.

And even though I feel that there's no everlasting love (ok, there can be exceptions lah, maybe 1 in a 100 couples? *shrugs*), we still need to have ppl who spends the rest of our lives with, don't u think so?

虽然曾经爱过
当爱变成了一种伤心的习惯
可能就该放手

但若曾经爱过
而爱变成了一种快乐的习惯
也不见得不好

所以
快乐最重要
=)

Anyway this is like a random ranting. I don't even know what I'm talkin bout. HAHA
