WHAT IT MEANS TO LOVE YOU

To love you is;
Seeing you and wishing I could steal a minute of your time just to say hi.
Going an extra mile to get to know you even though your precious time is going by.
Asking you for a date when we could continue the conversation as the two of us over a cup of coffee
Though most times i find it to be a beverage that is too strong for me.

To love you is;
Staring into your beautiful eyes and making you smile
That then gives me assuarance that every minute gone by has been worthwhile
Making you laugh and making you blush
Changing your perpective that you are in a rush
Giving you reason to do nothing but hush
Because nothing else this time round matters, not even the fact that you need to dash

To love you is;
Driving you back to you residence, and walk you to your door step
Watching you close the door behind you as you warn me not to miss the step
That lies behind me, just incase I forget
While gazing at your unfading beauty, that I long to get
But above all, Own....

To love you is:
To listen to you even when you don't make sense
And when you are yelling to the point the neighbours heads are 'hanging' around the fence
It is holding you when your tears seem to take over you
I not only dry them away, I try and sing your favorite song too
It is watching you getting anxious about your first job interview
And hoping that you call saying 'I GOT IT' and I give a sigh of relief saying, 'PHEW'
It is hearing you share your dreams and ambitions
And wishing in my heart that above all You get top position.

To love you is:
Bieng honest enough to let you know when you are on the wrong
Though most times you close yourself up, I know very well that that feeling won't last too long
You will come running back and find me standing in the same place you left me, playing your favorite song

I can go on and on....but as the days go by I shall surely make it known to you
There's nothing that I'd ever give in exchange for loving you.

I love you for all that you are, I love you for all that you do
But I love you the most for just bieng you.

You are my world,
With Love......

FLOW OR FLOAT?

A lesson I am learning, the older I grow, is that with discovery comes revelation, and revelation does not always soothe. I believe in the slow burn of human connection, not the fleeting flicker of a sprint. I take my time, extending the same patience and grace to others that I give myself in my own process of self-discovery. Sometimes, curiosity bubbles up, a genuine thirst to understand. Other times, my emotional and mental reserves are low, and I'm simply present, observing. But…intrigue me. Nudge the edges of my world with a spark of genuine interest, and you might just pique my curiosity. A "Hmmmm…who is this person?" moment might dawn, and the spotlight of my attention will shift your way. As we forge new connections in life, we are met with a mirror—not always a flattering one—that shows us how much we have changed, and perhaps, how much we still wish to. In that reflection, we see the vastness of who we are and the contradictions we carry. Self-awareness has unlo...

The "WHAT ABOUT ME" ERA

Happy New Year—or maybe a better greeting is, You made it! It’s been an eternity since I last did this, weaving thoughts into sentences. Back then, it was pen and paper; today, it’s keys and screens. The act of writing itself feels like a resurrection. My writing process for the hiatus period has been a messy one of delay, distraction, overthinking, and an impressive dedication to avoidance. Not encouraging terms for the beginning of the year ey? True, but the awareness of it is the start in the right direction if you ask me. 2024 had been a year of relentless demands, stretching me thin in every direction. I constantly felt like I was chasing an elusive "enough," a feeling that left me perpetually unsettled and plagued by the insidious whispers of inadequacy. "I don't know," became my frequent refrain, a mantra of self-doubt that clung to me like a shadow. Yet, as I sat down to evaluate the year, a profound realisation dawned: I had pushed myself beyond my per...

FROM THE COMFORT ZONE TO WHERE LIFE REALLY HAPPENS (OUTSIDE IT)

Image courtesy of www.loc.gov A question was asked to me a couple of weeks ago, phrased in this way… “What things do you see in your personal life where you might be resisting change?” (Think about this for some time before proceeding to read and hold on to your answer) Frustration tends to build up when things do not go as expected. Change is something each of us responds to differently. There are those who see it as an adventure. Their adrenaline shoots up at the thought of experiencing something or somewhere new. Others like myself take time to embrace it, calculating every single step as we move along. We like to know the details of where we are, what we ought to do, and better still what the future will hold. We dwell mostly in the questioning quarters than boarding the bus headed to “new”. The word “new” scares us. We’d rather be comfortable with what we know, than be put in a place that expects us to figure things out on our own; and if it takes us ...
