You have spoiled the food. You have wasted your time.

Haha, I love the concept of “Expiry day”, “Use-by date”, “Retention period” or Expiration day”.

Do passionate or romantic romance, true love, friendly friendship and sincere affection have their expiration day?

Actually, the “expiration day” can be as short as you can predict or as long as you can’t imagine. But the key is “Out of mind, out of sight.” or “Out of sight, out of mind.” But the key can be “I care."

We can do with, maintain, create, protect or have fun with our diverse relationships with unique affections among lovers, friends, family members, classmates, colleagues or even teachers or students with a passionate heart, a compassionate consideration, thankful gratitude, and sweet and friendly acts.

However, we need to heat them in order to lengthen the expiration day instead of refrigerating them. Haha, “stay cool but keep warm” may be a great principle to lengthen the expiration day and make it forever.

Since I am crazy for my writing recipes for my students to facilitate them to write better, here comes my recipe for forever romance. Let’s work smart and play hard to taste the yummy romantic love, genuine love, sincere friendship, parents’ love, and true affections among diverse relationships.

Recipe for Forever Romance

Take romantic love, genuine love, sincere friendship, parents’ love, and true affection.

Clean them thoroughly and wash away all bitterness, hate, selfish, indifference, and jealousy.

Make them as clean, natural and fresh as possible.

Cut forever into 365 days, 52 months, twenty-eight/ nine, thirty, or thirty-one days, and twenty-four hours, but don't mix them up in a whole batch at once.

Prepare it one day( twenty-four hours) at a time out of these ingredients.

Mix well into each day one part of passion, one part of patience, one part of courage, one part of compassion, one part of sweetness, one part of consideration, and one part of thoughtfulness.

Add to each day one part of love, faithfulness, care, tenderness, forgiveness, appreciation, respect, generosity, and kindness.

Blend with one part of sincere concerns, one part of sweet talks, and one part of genuine interactions.

Season the whole with a dash of good humor, a sprinkle of joyful fun, a pinch of merry play, and a cupful of great spirits.

Pour all of these into a vessel of love, respect and thankfulness.

Cook thoroughly over sparkling joy.

Decorate with lots of sweet smiles.

Serve with quietness, sweetness, and cheerfulness.

Let's taste the yummy, fresh, thankful and inspiring single minute, single hour, single day, single week, single month, single season, single year and forever with some expectation, some passion, some compassion, some satisfaction and some……………..

Everyone is bound to have forever romance without a certain “Expiration day”. But we all should bear in mind, " Stay cool and keep warm."," Out of sight, out of mind." and " Love conquer all."

Every day should be celebrated with appreciation and love.
