couples quarrel. maybe during the honeymoon period, they won't. but the happy state of things never lasts forever. a first quarrel will lead to another, and another.

some quarrels may be fiercer than others, but over time, i've come to realise we always become unhappy over the same things. my wanting to spend more time with other people makes you complain. but maybe i just want some space

i get exasperated. i get fed up. i am unhappy that i can't get things done my way. i feel that you are unreasonable, when i only have one week to meet my friends.

but i understand why you feel sad. so i force myself to cool down. and to acknowledge your feelings.

i compromise as i realise that its the only solution. i may have made the decision grudgingly, i may still sound unhappy, but a relationship is about giving and taking. there's no point in harping on who gives in more, ultimately both people need to put in effort to make the relationship work.

tanya chua write nice lyrics. 化学实验

爱一个人 像个化学实验
要先懂得分类 懂它的优缺点
然后随机应变
爱一个人 需要愿意改变
不管晴或雨天 热胀冷缩要练
也真是个考验
我一天一天在发现
爱你还有很多盲点
再给我一点时间 去观察多一些
我想爱你爱得完美 但不确定怎样才对
给你安慰
再给我几次机会 去把它做到对
不是故意让你心碎
是我习惯太无所谓 再给我时间
爱一个人 没标准的概念
但相信这直觉 而别怕去冒险
这才是重点
我一天一天在发现
爱你还有很多盲点
再给我一点时间 去观察多一些
我想爱你爱得完美 但不确定怎样才对
给你安慰
再给我几次机会 去把它做到对
不是故意让你心碎
是我习惯太无所谓 再给我时间
再给我一点时间 去观察多一些
我想爱你爱得完美 但不确定怎样才对
给你安慰
再给我几次机会 去把它做到对
不是故意让你心碎
是我习惯太无所谓 再给我时间

we get on each other's nerves, but i guess that makes us a match.
