have a sip of tea - life at first silver lining leaves

have a pot of tea.

imagine sipping from a warm pot of tea.

when you take that first sip,

what type of tea did you imagine drinking?

is it light?

bitter?

sweet?

was the flavor,

a delicate blend of chamomile and honey?

soothing your senses with its gentle sweetness?

'cause in a world transformed by a pandemic,

a pot of tea became a sanctuary.

its warmth embraced us,

a refuge from realities.

throughout the pandemic,

our lives transformed in unpredictable ways.

in that tranquil moment,

dreams are woven into reality.

dreams intertwined with reality,

a tapestry woven with hope and hardship.

so did you dream a dream?

'cause we did.

ever wonder how one pandemic has changed all of us.

for the better or not,

it depend.

across digital landscapes,

crossing oceans.

we found solace in newfound friendships from corners of the world we'd never have explored otherwise.

new friendships blossomed,

transcending borders,

defying oceans.

oceans were crossed,

not just in miles but in experiences shared.

we navigated this uncharted territory,

how was yours like?

ours was wild.

our shared journey wild and untamed.

some said sometimes it takes ten years to get that one year that changes your life,

ours did.

let me tell you our story for CreateTogether.

and you can decide on what you think.

life at first silver lining leaves.

it's youuu,

it's holding on, holding tight,

deeply in love, day and night.

so if they rise, if they ascend,

it'll give all it has, its love won't end.

you're the one on its mind,

the right one, at the right time.

every night in bed, it's...

it's dreaming, dreaming, it's youuu,

it's youuu,

it's youuu.

they say almost is never enough, they say,

i'd like to tell you,

i'd like to play.

maybe they weren't just right, didn't try,

just right,

maybe they didn't try,

but that's a lie,

that's a lie.

they can deny it all they want,

in time, their feelings will sparkle.

they'll wonder why they gave up,

the truth is something everyone knows.

if they could change the words tonight,

there'd be no goodbye, just light.

they'd get the chance that they deserve,

feelings preserved, hearts won't swerve.

deny it all they want, they will,

but in time, their feelings will break through.

sooner or later, they'll wonder why they gave up,

the truth is known, almost's a bluff.

almost is never enough,

almost,

almost is never enough, a ghost.

if they had known they almost had,

they wouldn't be two world apart,

they,

they almost knew, it's rough.

s, s, s, s,

almost is never,

almost is never... enough.

there's a fire starting in its heart, it's real,

bringing it out the door, it starts to feel,

finally, it sees you crystal clear,

go ahead, lay the ship bare, don't fear.

come on, come on,

don't underestimate what it'd do, what it'd create.

there's a fire starting in the heart, it's sprouting,

the scars of their love, they always show.

they almost had it all, it's true,

the scars remind them, love does too,

they could have had it all, you see,

you played it to the beat, with it.

they could have had it alllll, their call,

deep inside, they had it all.

deep,

in heart inside,

& you played it to the beat, no hide.

it could have had it all, their tale,

tears gonna fall, a bittersweet wail,

& you played,

& you played it,

& you played it to the beat.

sorry,

it doesn't love you anymore,

so let's just break this love, it's sore,

it found someone better than it, it's true,

don't be sad, this is the real it, blue.

so you don't need to come around,

goodbye, let's not be bound.

please be happy, find your way,

please forget it, and live a new day.

it'll...be fine,

please don't worry for it,

just go away, set yourself free,

that's all it have to say, it's clear,

that's all it has to do, s, s, s, s.

it must make you cry, it knows,

because it's the only way it can do,

because if it doesn't, you'll stay,

you won't go away.

it knows it's hard, so it must make you cry,

push you away.

they laughed together,

& it whistled, "why don't we ever play hide and seek?"

silver lining responded, "because good partners are hard to find!"

goodbye, please be good,

please forget it, and live as you should.

it'll be fine,

please don't worry for it,

please,

sorry,

but it loves you still.

don't forget it, if you will,

don't leave it alone, don't go!

it'll be fine...

let your love flow,

as if you're 'spinning in infinity while searching for your silence in space.'

don't worry for it, and just,

but if you remember it, in your heart,

....please return to it, someday,

love's path will find its way;
