One and only
I wish I could tell you all that is in my heart.
I want to wake up to watching your smile.
I was hoping if I ever grieve, I'd do it by holding your hands.
I will forever look forward to the way you smile.
The truth is my heart always beats for you.
The memories of what we were would never over shadow what we shall become.
Oh dear, I have given time to my thoughts, the way you talk, the tranquility from your voice. I wish I could see the person on your inside, I hope one day you'd bloom and grow, then you would steal glances at this face.
I saw something, I hope I was right.
This morning, I could have sworn I opened my eyes while in your arms.
There was this look that set us apart, I could
Feel the breeze of anointing.
I was wondering how life could exist in such a desire. I did see you, I think I did.
I saw you smile, I saw you look at me, I saw that man that I look forward to see.
When I closed my eyes to soak the moment in, I thought I heard you whisper; I would be back.
I hope you come back, I want to sit across the table from you and have breakfast, I don't want rush, I want to observe, I want to see beneath your budging eyes, I want to see why you took time to submit to this love.
When you take your meal in, I won't ask questions, I would read the way your hands crawls. I am not a psychopath, I just want to make sure it is the right choice. I wouldn't ever force this love.
If you smile from across, I will stare for a while.
I would ask you to pass me the cup and I will wait till you do, when it finally gets to me, I would ask what you are scared of.
If you tell me your fears, I won't judge, I hope you would be sincere.
Although I saw you when I woke up, I don't know if you would like to stay till forever. I just would like to admit, I want you to stay, there is no shame in this love.
Oh dear, if you don't feel the same, it's perfect.
We can see from your perspective. There would be no love potion.
This heart that I carry is beautiful enough to love and be loved, I gotten pass the phases of rejection. I just want to choose love with you, there is Something about how you marked the momentum.
It felt as though you could take all would come.
This life is a war, I would be ready to fight for us. As easy as it sounds, I can't do it alone.
I hope that when you smile, you smile to accept us, to agree to this cause.
I don't want just a man, I want the man who consists of all you have; not perfect, but falling in line.
If this feels like too much option, after breakfast, just clear the table with me, you can say goodbye.
They said I hide pains really well, but with you, I won't.
When I cry on your chest, I won't expect your arms to hold me, then I would express the gratitude your sincerity sent.
When I open the door to let you go, after Your sleeves getting rolled, I would lock my door and take-a walk through the corridor, I would perceive your fragrance, although tears would spend days running down my cheeks, I would forgive my heart for settling with you, and I would remember the times spent with you.
If the reason I woke up was because you are willing to have all of these, the fight, the sweetness and life in it. I would never forget the smile. And I would never be different from the woman who took your heart from the start, it's been a while around this block, I have so forgotten how to love, If after breakfast the answer gets to be yes, I would forever do all for us. If it's no, I would just be the woman I have always was. There is no shame in wanting us, I don't know if you feel the same way, if you don't, let me know. They say that time would tell, I'd like time to be all for us.
Your dear, Olu.
This is beautiful
