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 coffee with him, she was surprised, but 

due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop, he was 

too nervous to say anything, she felt uncomfortable, she thought, please, 

let me 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? He replied: “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. Now every time I have the salty 

coffee, I always 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 the bottom of his heart. A man who can 

tell out his homesickness, he must be a man who loves home, cares about home, 

as responsibility of home. Then she also started to speak, spoke about 

her faraway 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 happy life… And, 

every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee e, 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 my whole life lie. This was the only lie I 

said 

to you—the salty coffee. Remember the first time we dated? I was so 

nervous at that time, actually I wanted some sugar, 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 I knew 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 my whole 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 2 hear 

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. 

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.”
