Alas... the internet hath been restored on thy computer!

I saw these two young people in a reflection. This guy was chatting with this girl at lunch. Neither one seemed quite into it, as if they had been tied down and been force-fed to each other. I looked at them and wondered why they were having lunch together. They could have probably had lunch with a hundred other people, yet they arranged to engage in a cold, sterile outing together. Are they dating, normally existing as a loving couple but experiencing rough weather in the relationship? Are they just friends, meaning one of them (read: the guy) likes the other and is hopelessly squeezing out a date? Are they strangers linked together by friends, what the common folk refer to as a "blind date"? Are they always cold to each other? Are they strained from a spat at the luncheon? Are they still lukewarm toward each other?

I hope not. They seemed like cute kids who could be so happy. Then again, don't most young adults seem to display promising signs of happiness? Do they all attain the light?

I will.
