The Salty Coffee

Hey everyone...
i just found this post from one of my friends on the net...

Enjoy!

He met her on a party. She was so outstanding, many guys chasing after her, while he so normal, nobody paid attention to him. At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffeewith him, she was surprised, but due tobeing polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, letme go home.... suddenly he asked the waiter. "would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee."

Everybody stared at him, so strange!His face turned red,but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously; why you have this hobby? Hereplied: "when I was a little boy, I was living near the sea, I like playing in the sea, I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Nowevery time I have the salty coffee, Ialways think of my childhood,think of my hometown, I miss my hometown so much, I miss my parents who are still living there". While saying that tears filled his eyes. She was deeply touched.

That's his true feeling, from thebottom of his heart. A man who can tellout his home sickness, he must be a man who loves home,cares about home, has responsibility ofhome. Then she also started to speak, spoke about her far away hometown, her childhood, her family. That was a really nice talk,also a beautiful beginning of their story.

They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands; he had tolerance, was kind hearted, warm,careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee!

Then the story was just like every beautiful love story , the princess married to the prince, then they were living the happylife... And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, left her a letter which said: "My dearest, please forgive me, forgive mywhole life lie. This was the only lie I said to you---the saltycoffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so nervous at thattime, actually I wanted somesugar, but I said salt It was hard for me to change so I just went ahead.I never thought that could be the start of our communication I tried to tell you the truth many times in my life, but I was too afraid to do that, as I have promised not to lie to you for anything.

Now I'm dying, I afraid of nothing so I tell you the truth: I don't like the salty coffee, what a strange bad taste.. But I have had the salty coffee for my whole life! Since Iknew you, I never feel sorry for anything I do for you. Having you with me is my biggest happiness for my whole life. If I can live for the second time, still want to know you and have you for mywhole life,even though I have to drink the salty coffee again".

Her tears made the letter totally wet.Someday, someone asked her: what's the taste of salty coffee?

It's sweet. She replied.

Love is not 2 forget but 2 forgive, not 2 c but 2 understand, not 2hear but 2 listen, not 2 let go but 2 Hold On…..

Don't ever leave the one you love for the one you like, because the one you like will leave you for the one they love.

To The Girls reading this :

Find a guy, who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
Who calls you back when you hang up on him.
Who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Wait for the one who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Wait for the one who turns to his friends and says, "..that's her."
