Love in Denial

Baby, will you please listen to me. My heart can't keep pumping all the blood for you while I need all of it up in my brain right now. There are deadlines to meet or I am dead. The ecstasy that we shared last night had kept both of us in trance till now, and the feeling just won't go.   Two made for eachother people in a perfect relationship looks hopelessly in eachother's eyes to estimate the expiration date of their relationship. He explains, it's not that we never had a break up before, the only thing that differentiates our relationship with all the previous ones, is that we didn't know it has an expiry date. Why not make use of each moment with this special feeling, till we are not seperated.  Can we actually be seperated at heart, she started  weeping silently.

Many people are starving and seeing their children cry in hunger during this pandemic, while others are oblivious of whatever is happening around.
