| When they first met | B |
| Between love and books | C |
| It was their words against their teachers | D |
| Slipping love letters to each other | E |
| Became a routine | F |
| Promising together for ever | E |
| His lines in every piece held her hopes high | G |
| - | |
| years later | E |
| They were done with secondary school days | A |
| While one thinks of furthering | H |
| The other thought of the opposite for promises she pictured soon | I |
| Much time they had and spent together | E |
| In the pleasure of their desires they groan in satisfaction | J |
| And as they lay silent arms stock into one | J |
| She said calmly when are you taken me away | K |
| To be one with you and awake daily in your warmth | L |
| - | |
| I don t know yet baby he responded | M |
| Insinuating for a future to pursue | N |
| Before settling down | O |
| You know there is much to marriage than just marrying | H |
| I still have to make money | P |
| To be able to take care of you and our kids | Q |
| But you know I love you so much and to spend a lifetime with you I wouldn t mind he added | R |
| - | |
| To this she said | S |
| I am tired of all your words sweet as honey | P |
| Yet not enough to cure me of the bitterness of loneliness | T |
| I am tired of this act | U |
| Tired of tasting this fruit meant for mums and dads | V |
| And until we are ready never shall we eat of it again | W |
| Slamming the door behind she left annoyed | X |
| - | |
| Days after he made attempts to draw close | Y |
| By inviting her over | E |
| But she turned him down | O |
| Scared of the outcome if she visits | Z |
| For with him she barely resists his charms | A2 |
| - | |
| He not given up kept calling | H |
| Just spare me a minute he pleaded | R |
| You know I miss you come over let s talk | B2 |
| He left messages | C2 |
| Until she succumbs and they schedule a date | D2 |
| On the D day family errands came calling | H |
| In haste she left forgetting her phone at home | E2 |
| To return later in the evening to his missed calls but too tired to call back | F2 |
| Will definitely do that tomorrow she thought | G2 |
| - | |
| The next morning | H |
| She reached for her phone as she woke up | H2 |
| And dialed his number twice but none answered | I2 |
| It was until the third time that a familiar voice came through | N |
| It was her fianc e s elder brother | E |
| Greetings were exchanged | J2 |
| Where is he at she inquired to speak to her boyfriend | K2 |
| Silent fell as she waited thinking he was taking the phone to him | L2 |
| But ended in a deep sigh As he said | S |
| We lost him yesterday | K |
| He was crushed by a truck on his bike | M2 |
| What she exclaimed please tell me it s not true shivering on her bed | S |
| But it was true The cold hands of death snatched him away from her | E |
| - | |
| I came across her a month after the incidence | N2 |
| Looking tattered and frustrated | R |
| The beautiful and nice looking lady I used to know is no more | O2 |
| All I saw is the one battling with self guilt and regrets | P2 |
| To why she failed to turn up on their date | D2 |
| Thinking that had she he wouldn t have died | Q2 |
| It was on this cold evening that she confided in me | P |
| Sharing the story of her lost love | R2 |
| And I knowing that just a word will bring her consolation | J |
| But then what would a broken me say | K |
| To quench negative emotions on fire in her | E |
| In between I finally struggled to blow out words | S2 |
| Look lady it s not your fault that he s gone | T2 |
| You are not the creator and his will you couldn t have stop even with your presence | N2 |
| Whatever please just find a way to forgive yourself For now what matters is you | N |
| The deceased if once in love with you | N |
| will always wish you well where ever they go | U2 |
| Their wish that you keep on wearing that beautiful youthful smiles of yours | V2 |
| - | |
| At this I say goodbye to her Living with a heavy heart | W2 |
| But with hope that the seed of consolation planted | R |
| Will shoot buds grow and flourish to wipe away the tears of they | K |
| Mourning over lost love | R2 |
