A Relationship is a Cup of Coffee

A relationship is really a cup of coffee: people like it different ways. Some like a full cup, some just a half. Some like theirs bitter, and some sweet. Some people prefer their coffee dark, some light. I've met people who are picky about the kind of cup they choose, and some who really just don't care. Just as in coffee, the people we date are not always that good for us, and we get another cup. Then there is always that good cup which we hope will last forever. It is that cup I am in search of.
