HER

There is something about me, when I have this constant memory or thoughts, the therapy is to write about it, when I do that, it eases off.

I thought about writing this one down, but not to ease it off, woah! I never want it to go away. The memory is my strength 💪, it is what I resort to when I want to make decisions, when I'm bored, when I have nothing else that makes me smile 😃  and above all else, when you are not around for a long while.

It all started when I went to eat after a long day of chasing shadows in the marketing job I got myself into, the numbers were not adding up, my intestines were not having it, my head was acting and my body was telling me I needed to feed, I went to the back of the plaza I work at, to grab some bite and there you are, I would like to concoct the cliché "and the rest was history" but it's not and that's why I pick up my pen to scribble this amazing story.

I gazed my eyes 👀  on this beauty for a moment, and at that moment, you were the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, it's not as if I have not seen variants but your looks wiped my archive and formatted my "beautiful women" hard-drive. She was local yet fair yet confident. She sat gisting with the woman running the buka, there was this other guy there too but he is not important 😆, I have erased him.

I thought about just going in to acquaint myself with you but my nerves couldn't carry it and my confidence was low, remember I told you I've got no juice, I've had a long day and I hate to say it wasn't productive. I ordered my food, sat and ate, kept wondering where you came out from because if it was that Airtel office in our plaza, I'm definitely needing a second Airtel Sim card, I will discard my old one 😅.  But it's not, I've been there for marketing many times and I know their staff strength. You are a mystery, very bold yet meek yet... oh I have said all of those before 😊.  Before I could finish eating and come out, she had gone.

Same place different time, now I have forgotten the face I saw, the lady I met and the prayer I said for another opportunity to come, here I am with my colleague eating and chatting loudly about our other colleagues, I got a call from my brother and he was talking about his Canada 🇨🇦  dreams, you walked in and took your position behind but adjacent to me, I teased my brother about his inadequacy and my doubts of him making it big in this land of opportunities, I heard your giggle and turned to check if I was the cause of your amusement. Behold there I was, making this grown woman laugh 😃, you tried to hide it but I was too late, I quickly knew you were the one for me, I turned and tried to eat, suddenly those appetite was quench by that butterfly 🦋 feeling you get when you are tense or about to make a bold life move, this time the bold move was you, how do I do this, what do I say, I used to be the overall best in pick up lines, I think 🤔 I'm still the overall best in pick up lines who knows, but I would have to come out from retirement to check.

I said "hello", she said "hi", I said "do you work around here?" She said "not really but close" I said "wow, this woman must have sprinkled something in her food" " for you to come all the way just to feed". She laughed and I was having a time of my life, those gap teeth, those lips you paint with black lipsticks, such elegance of a woman 👩, walahi, you drove me nuts, there and then I was in love 🥰. 

I couldn't find another word, I left even though I wanted to stay, I got a call from a customer, I asked for her digits and the request was granted, I left and made her promise to pick up.

I arranged another meet, we said somewhere neutral, I learnt just a fragment about her and I opened up so much about me, I felt comfortable with her, she completes me, I started creating pictures 📸,  I was in love 🥰. 

This story is long, so long that it can never finish, my creativity can still be stretched, I might still feel something more can still be merged, I just know you like a read[sic] but I want to use this moment to talk to her, "when I met you, you're everything I want and more, no one could compare and I still want you here, you are the love of my life.

As usual, I would want to tell you more, I think there is more to say, but I will stop here for now, yes, don't blame me much, I'm just a lazy writer and this is not even my best piece.
