Analysis of We Still Loved Each Other
We hurled a volley of expletives at each other; while conversing over the
phone,
Severely ostracizing our movements; our conservative attitude towards
society,
Threw fluffy pillows; rolling pins; scattered debris; virtually all that came
in our hands at each other,
Tore apart our scalp hair in exasperation; slapping each other on the rubicund
cheek,
Grimaced our teeth like the most ominous of fortress; clenching our fists in
indignation,
Stared unrelentingly like diabolical demons; refraining to whisper the
slightest of sound,
Spat uncouthly at each other; our hands interlocked in a vindictive brawl,
Made abhorrent designs of each other; rampantly inscribing them on the cold
floor,
Kicked uncontrollably while in the car; banging our heads against the
windshield,
Spilled scalding tea deliberately on each other; burning dainty pores in our
skin,
Glanced indifferently towards each other; pretending to be nonchalant
strangers,
Scoffed haughtily inhaling long gasps of breath; insipidly kicking small
stones that confronted our way,
Wailed discordantly with fervor; looking at each others faces,
Sat poles apart on the dining table; secretly wishing to dance under the
enchanting moon,
Drew lines vindictively on the sands; as we strolled languidly on the slippery
beach,
Pummeled each other in the ribs; at the slightest provocation; as our tempers
soared to dizzy heights,
Paced up and down the length of the house; occasionally banging the walls in
intense infuriation,
Tossed and turned irritably on the king poster bed; unable to go to blissful
sleep,
Deliberated for marathon hours on the trot; on inconspicuous issues; expending
great energy from our intricate lungs,
But the remarkable thing was; that even after all this we still remained the
best of friends; immensely enjoyed and wistfully longed for each others
company,
And at the end of the acrimonious day; forgave and acutely loved each other.
