He was silent but his eyes spoke well –
And more than any verbose spell!
She let the couplet she had written on him reverberate in her mind until her entire being was swept by a massive orgasmic tsunami of emotions. He had not spoken a word and yet had professed his love for her. His heart had spoken through his eyes. She turned to him, calmly thanked him for his emotional appeal, and then got out of the taxi saying, ‘Remember to attend your adult education classes and use real words the next time you feel like falling in love.’
A bridge called literacy

Feel like falling in love? Is it that easy?

Yes, the taxi driver was obviously making love-dipped emotional passes at his passenger but was doing it like a pro. The passenger was fortunately an intelligent girl who saw through the act despite her loving his act. her response was, therefore, quite appropriate… because she touched a sensitive flaw in an illiterate driver! 🙂

The passenger , a girl was smart to remind him to attend the adult literacy classes. Love , at times , is not the sole ingredient for survival.
