It all started as a joke. I never knew it could reach this proportion. I had already lost hope in love. The pain, the grief, the sorrow I felt wasn’t the same as that of those who came before me.It made my heart bleed and so I swore not and never to love again after my glass of pure love was broken. I never imagined if life could still turn up, down, sideways, blue and red just so I would be assured that I didn’t lose still. Life just dipped me in both soups that I had to feel the both sides of the coin of love.
When I was done with my quest, searches and struggles, I finally met you, you who ushered in some rays of love through my palms into my heart. You raised my points from a zero, my hero. I met my lost love again through you. This time I promised and swore never to let go.
It might have taken me time to dig till the deepest and sweetest core of love to understand it but finally just like any struggles I won.My attitude changed the moment you held my hands. I wouldn’t repay you for the fixations you did in my heart, I just had to love.
Love is an affection linking towards someone or maybe a bright stain on vision. And so just like yesterday, I still remember the first time we went walking deep and late in the dark night through the park of the dead. I couldn’t ask for more but just to have you in my arms and a place closer to my heart.
You looked good in your wide set eyes, long neck and trim figure and medium dark skin of fine texture. Your lips frequently firm and unsmiling seemed to hold back a tantalising secret. That silence gave me the best silent night I ever dreamed of.
On our third day of love we visited the supermarket and bought flowers of pure red. We weren’t sent for an adventure but we decided to tour the city that night on a bike dropping each petal of red rose each at a time until all there was left was nothing less of a twenty minutes kiss of midnight.
I remember the first time I had you singing.it was out on those balconies of karaoke lounge we visited one of the fine Saturdays. You had a well-modulated voice, your face was lovely, expensive and frequently lightened up by a warm smile.my heart danced and marveled at you jewel. You must have been heaven sent.
My life must have learnt a lot through this trail of love and so my love was such that rivers could not quench. This journey is full of surprises and sorrows and still it takes pain to love someone.so I decided to take you to the movies; watching the kind of love birds had that constantly made them sing and fly together in that scorching sun in the morning, watching lovers slip and fall in waterfalls while hiking their ways out of the dens of love and watching the stories that had been kept, stories of deep and dark secrets of love, away from all of us.
And so we developed some mad passion of visiting museums and libraries and art galleries to find and solve our puzzle of love and when all this was done we only slipped back to watching and counting stars at night every midnight. Indeed beauty is the promise of happiness. I remember the times we spent together.My heart had fallen deeply and irrevocably in love and it was just more than difficult to tear the bond apart. Your memories always flooded my mind. I guess maybe you were grabbed from the jaws of a determined dragon because not only were you smart even the olive oil could not match your complexion.
We can still walk through the streets at night and lick creams and eat bites but still you will never satisfy me. That’s why although am far away from you, I’ll still keep thinking about you. You may be out of my sight but you’ll never be out of my mind and heart. I would have wished to spend the month of love and its core, valentines, with you but I can’t. I’ll still wait for some other day, some other memorable day that the world will stand still and the sky will turn red just to celebrate our love.
Spending time with you was my pleasure and sooner it’s going to be leisure. I’ll have all your turbulent, warm unspent kisses to warm me while on bed till the day I die. Come on, let’s peddle our hearts together. I promise you adventures to zones the eagles wouldn’t dare to go. And so even though my fights may loosen someday, I promise to stay to the very end.
I love you, girlfriend.
