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 |
