The rain had just stopped a few minutes ago, so was my pluviophile nature that was gawking at the serene-filled canvas in front of me.

The constant overwhelming sense of déjà vu hit me unlike anything as i soon found myself clad in some simple jeans and a T-shirt.

Nevertheless, turning on my heel before i could even start my engine, tons of messages and ringings flooded my phone one after another. After replying them a quick "comin'", i finally pulled off my apartment.

Breaking the traffic code, i swivelled my car as i came face to face with my friends.

Rolling down my window i gestured to them with a nod as they hurriedly climb into the backseat.

The ride, to say the least, was full of fun.

Whistling, cheering, singing, chit-chatting; but the deeply buried void of emotions in my heart expanded its surface by adding more and more loneliness into it.

Probably i got philophobia from birth, or maybe by experiencing the cruel surroundings of our society. Guess you would never know.

But i had it. Indeed.

Fear of actually falling for someone i thought only could be found in fairytales.
