Features: Flowers bloom but wither, the moon waxes and wanes; it's always shallow fate but deep love. From age 12 to 32, my heart has been entangled with him. For him, cup after cup of afternoon tea; for him, tear after tear of heartache; for him, true love and unwavering devotion for a lifetime. But where is my love? Twenty years of love—it's not a dream. Yet year after year, we drift apart as if a unseen giant hand of fate plays with our love. Who knows if I am a toxic poppy or a pansy? On Valentine's Day, I prepared afternoon tea for you, the Biluochun you love the most—its buds stand distinct, glistening like jade, dancing gracefully in the steam of the tea. Every stem and leaf whispers solitude and longing. The rose biscuits and poria cakes are also placed in crystal trays. The desserts are pomegranate punch and papaya boats, with a delicate incense burner filled with aloeswood shavings on the table. But why haven't you come yet? Through so many years, through so many rainy and sunny Valentine's Days, my only wish has been to share an afternoon with you over a cup of tea and a scent of incense. But where is my love?
