Social media in-laws
It starts with a feeling of butterflies, deep down in ones heart, a feeling of flapping those tiny dusty wings that moves in a rhythm starting slowly then faster and then faster, and then,
faster, as the heart beat to the rhythm of these feelings.
The feelings are mutual, or so it seems, with midnight calls that the lover birds never want to end. It then graduates to a feeling of finding difficulties living without one of them.
This starts with the two and end with the crowd as emotions are plastered on the public faces. They unknowingly bring in the social media in-laws, some of whom can no longer remember the meaning of love as they've been dumped more than thrice. These in-laws help the lover birds spread their emotions to the world. Like a youthful Eagle, the love spreads to affect other people's emotions wishing they were the ones loved unconditionally, so they think. But the problem comes when the love becomes sour, as the lover birds arms their tongues with lethal verbal artillery and the jealous social media in-laws are fast to throw blames on the couple's for PDA-Public Display of Affection.
