Nuts

"Weak. Donuts," you said out of the blue.

"Donuts?" asked I.

"Masarap yun. Donuts"

"Better if it's shared," I laughed.

"I'm just saying donuts. I'm not saying I'm eating donuts."

"Just saying it's better shared. Donuts are sweet zeroes." says I.

Literally, sweet zeroes.

Aside from the fact that it's zero-shaped

You get loads of sugar from the bagel and the cream on top

It fills you, makes your stomach heavier, makes you fatter

Yet gives you NOTHING.

No nutrients, no vitamins or minerals.
Unhealthy.

Just empty calories.

Much like us, I would have said

We're sweet zeroes.

Sweet when we're together

With all the jokes and the proximity

But completely meaningless deep inside.

No commitment. No exclusivity

No promises. No love.

Just

Sweet

Nothings.

We're donuts, man.
And we're starting to spoil.
