Twice love

 Let me love you one more time. 

I am trying to say we could start over.

Maybe the first time was a mirage. 

Maybe we both lied about our hearts.

Maybe we didn’t understand, maybe we felt we were running out of time. 

Maybe we made mistake and put emotions at stake. 

Or we didn’t know love could be sane. 

Or we ain’t meant for each other.

We might have made illusion our partner. 

I couldn’t say, I couldn’t look in your face. 

Heartbreaks make me go insane.

I remember when I first met you,

I guess it was around quarter past 2.

The way you stood and smiled from afar, that was outstanding too.

And I like the way you spoke in details, hence putting light in my soul.

And you felt like something I used to know, 

Like love in a stream without stones. 

And I thought that I knew you. 

Well enough to grow with you.

The second time with you felt like home, your arms became a place I know.

I think it changed or we changed. 

 Maybe we could try again. 

I am desperate to see you smile whenever you see my face. 

And when  we walk to the park, I want your heartbeat to take the space. 

Maybe I haven’t been the best, and I have promised to change.

It’s taking time and I am losing words to say. But I think I like the way you make love feel. And if you are willing, we could start again. 

And if it’s too much for you to hear, we could pretend we never met.

And if my tantrums are too much to bear, we could stay miles away. 

I just want to love you second time and I’d like you to do the same...

           Yours truly, Olu❤️
