This is the chocolate cake that i used to bake for him. I could still remember how happy he was whenever he tasted the cake. He ever told his friends this is the best chocolate cake that he has ever tried.

I have never baked this cake ever since we departed.

There's a sign.

Whenever i am in love, i feel like cooking/baking for someone.

I feel like cooking/baking for someone lately...

A sign that signifies endless sorrow and poignance.

I wish i wasn't that nice
I wish i could be sensible
I wish i could just let you go...

Hey Gloria! Thanks for the recipe!

I doubt if i'll bake any chocolate cake again. There isn't any motivation to cook and bake for someone anymore...

Cheers!
