Resignation

They draw love-hearts on their saucers, after they've cleared their date lunch. They play "shark-and-swimmer" in the pool, as they laugh and tease each other. They kiss deeply under the streetlights, not worried about paparazzi or muggers. They throw each other paper planes carrying love letters, as they wait for the standing comedian to begin his show. Words most common in their phone messages are "Darling" , "Sweetheart" , "Vanilla" , "Celestial Popsicle" and many more..... Sometimes they get lost away from civilization, and joke about their past relationships, as they find the nearest tarmac road. They've resigned from the saying "Marriage has no happiness".
