Punch drunk love
----
The couple gazed into each others' eyes , arms so entwined around each other's neck that strangulation's almost certain , her waist grinding against his hip in a slow dance-like fashion.
Sex with the clothes on , i call it.
They were so in their own world that their tray of fresh coffee must have been like a silhouette in a thick dense fog and everyone else fading into oblivion.
I was impressed with their formidable skills of being able to balance a laden tray with arms still around each other's necks , even though the tray swayed precariously as they walked back to their table.
They looked inebriated . But certainly not from the effects of excessive alcohol ( an effect i know too well )
I had forgotten about them until i walked out from the cafe and i saw them huddled closed to each other in a one-seater sofa , heads bowing down together as if deep in prayer , her leg draped across his' in a come-hither manner.
Their coffees still untouched , the lovely cappucino foam reduced to a mere smudge of brown.
I wondered what they were whispering about. But i guessed as much.
"Oh , Sally . You smell wonderful. I love you so much."
"Oh Ben , i love you so much too."
"Sally.. You're my sweet strawberry cream filled pie !"
"Oh Ben... You're so sweet.. You're my cute little fluffy white bunny !"
"Sally Sally .. Did i mention how much i love you ?"
"Yes you did , about a second ago. But don't stop."
"I love you , Sally. So much. Do you know that ?"
"Yes i do .. I love you that much too you know , Ben ?"
"Oh Sally.. Hearing my name on your lips makes me dizzy with happiness. I love you .."
"Ben Ben Ben Ben Ben Ben Ben Ben Ben Ben"
"Oh oh oh .. Please don't torture me like that.. I'm gonna need aspirin to cure my dizzy spell.. Sally.. I'm so in love with you.. Your lips are secret territorries of which i will conquer.."
"Oh , conquer me now , Ben . There will be no fight , i shall wave the white flag and surrender myself to you , my valiant conquerer , my knight in shining armour , my greek god "
"Oh Sally , My love. My one and only. My aphrodite .. I love you.."
"Oh Ben . You don't know how much i love you ..."
"I will never leave you....Sally..."
"I love you..."
And then a kiss so passionate , its almost porn .
