What is love? Most of us haven't given the question a single thought. We're brought up to assume Walt Disney had it all figured out with the 'Happily ever afters'. The endless romantic drivel pumped our way only compounds this sense of emp…

"Not again." Alexi swore and gestured rudely to the driver in front of her, then honked her horn three times in anger. The bitch cut me off! She'd had to slam her brakes hard missing the red Ford Fiesta by mere millimetres. "Not today bitch…
Ironic how lonely one can feel even in a relationship.
So I'm supposed to care. But I don't. And perhaps never will. Isn't it about time I left? Why am I still here? With someone that I can barely tolerate? Am I really so pathetic as to settle? A part of me feels slightly remorseful for havi…

I've been so lucky to have seen you these last two days. And I do feel such a fool when you're around. I know it's nothing but a stupid crush, but it still has such a hold over me. It frightens me to look at you, I swear you make me feel so…
There were so many things I wanted to say to you before I walked away. You were in your own world the last time we met. And you are, aren't you? Floating around in your own space where no one can touch you, no one can really know you. I kn…
