They were a much envied pair
holding hands always
whispering sweet nothings
totally into each other
everyone believed
they would go waltzing
into the sunset
for their happily ever after
but life is not a work of fiction
realities have a strange way of skewing life
the glowing warmth turning into
frosted silence
a slight misunderstanding
blown out of proportion
and two lives riven apart forever.
It happens and it’s so true – the slightest misunderstanding can destroy a relationship or, at the very least, make it unbearably toxic.

Ahhh life happens we say..when a slight misunderstanding destroys a loving relationship…there wasn’t love probably in the first place…cos no amount of great distraction could ruin one great love.
