相见不如怀恋相见不如初
[xiāng jiàn bù rú huái liàn xiāng jiàn bù rú chū]
'Meeting Is Not as Good as Fond Memories (Or as in the Beginning)' suggests a bittersweet emotion. It reflects on how reunion with someone after a long time apart can be disappointing because memories of them are better than reality, or implies that an initial meeting might have been the peak point of two people's relationship.
