Love like us millennials do
Wait for the sun to go down
And stare at the screen
Strain your ears to hear the notification tune
Feverishly type away into the night
While sipping a cold one
Send an ‘ILY’ along with a million hearts
Yellow faces with heart eyes
Entire chain of XOXO’s.
Wait for acknowledgement.
Validation.
Dress up, visit fancy joints.
Pretend.
Pretend for yourself, pretend for the world.
Showcase the materialism
Shower the ‘Luv’
Spread the ‘Happy-ness’
Come closer, only to want space
Break apart, because who knows how to mend anyway?
Move away. Move farther. Move on.
Another night. Another cup.
New notification tune.
Take a sip.
Let the ‘Luv’ begin.
Woww…reality of today’s relationships! Amazing work!!
You have captured the present state of courtships very well.
Wow, the meaningless pursuit of ‘luv’ in this digital age is so beautifully captured by this gem of a poem. A lovechild of romanticism and social commentary, it’s a rare feat that lets people who don’t get their own hypocrisy to validate themselves
Woah…..its Amazing how u create a picture of the bitter truth…keep up the good work..!!!
