Ins & Outs

Pin Lim 1982 (Montreal)



Ins & outs

What makes a relationship good into a great one?
That epic romance that only dreams are made from…
The ones where you see in movies and fantasize for days
And seek help from religion even though you’d never prayed

You often see couple argue and fighting for who’s in the wrong
It’s such a rare feat these days to see the ones still going strong
What sets them apart from failures to success?
Some candles burn out while others are a work in progress.

To ignite a dying flame to spark a romance lost once more
People sometimes forget what they’re in a relationship for
Time passed and they struggle to find their love again
Constant battle emotionally trying to break the chain

Loving someone to the full extent and expecting a return investment
Forgetting the little things that worked when their love was tested
To the smallest details like a simple gesture or just a smile can do
Can make someone day better and be/stay with you.
