Vicarious pleasure is their 'us'
"Assure me that you love-" he cut her off
"'Love' is platitudinous.", she believed him
Eccentric is what she wants to define their 'us'
"Not meant to be understood", he defined eccentric
This is to be rued!
Illiterate to her contrite divulging, he was a challenge
Not new to this, she was eager to end this déjà vu
Each of these crowns would bite her hair
