Love Undefined
"Excuse me." I heard a gruff voice as the merciless sun scorched my profile.
I looked offensively behind, maneuvering impatiently my vehicle, at the same time.
"From where did you get this?" To my irate looks, she didn't even give a dime.
Following the direction of her prying eyes, I found them looking enviously at my possession so prized.
"This? This one just arrived in the college library." I chimed with sheer delight, nothing less than pride.
It was funny to watch her tone change. “By when will you be done? You see, I had been waiting for this one to arrive.”

Also, the longitudes and latitudes equally conspired to make us pine for the love that was never lost but sadly, confined.
There are still phone calls, always ill-timed, yet, replenishing the souls, erstwhile passions, for a short while, feel realigned to be savored afterwards like a seasoned wine.
