When I told you I’m not the kinda guy that’d give you flowers and send you sweet texts every morning…
” you aren’t serious,” you muttered, ” stop listening to Lucky Dube and the likes, they’re miseducating you.”
I smiled.
And then you looked at me confused.
I could see it in your eyes,
you wanted to ask me a thousand questions but…
You saved the strength to fight the tears you wanted tp shed from deep inside.
When I said those words,
I didn’t mean to hurt you, really.
I was keeping to the promise we made to eachother – to be true to eachother ALWAYS.
I was trying to be clear with you, sweet human.
Wanted to remove any unnecessary expectations
that may have been planted in your mind from hollywood or k-drama.
Cos, I’ve come to understand unmet expectations may ruin the best of things.
And I value what we have so much that I don’t want anything to ruin it.
But now…
Your reaction is making me feel I made the wrong decision, even if you are not saying it.
But, will I regret telling you that?
Hell no!
Cos I want to be as genuine as I am with you, WITHOUT being under unnecessary pressure to fake what’s not real, to prove anything to you.
You already know I’m very bad at proving points.
If not giving you daily affirmations and reassurances makes you feel I don’t love you anymore
Well, you’re free to do what you want.
Wanna leave?
Feel free.
Na relationSHIP we dey, no be prison.
If you think we can’t sail 2geda anymore,
Feel free to get off board.
It’d hurt, no doubt, but…
Las las, we go dey alright, trust me.
Cos what’s the point of being together if we aren’t on the same page because of some unreal expectations set from your overconsumption of movies.
E no fit work nau, baby.
I know true love requires making compromises for eachother here and there, but, it doesn’t mean we should set unreasonable expectations for eachother, right?
Anyways…
I know say you be SPEC o,
beauty, brains and sweet personality.
The kinda gal many men would simp for or kill for.
I know there are guys out there who’d give you flowers for every breath you take, and credit your accounts randomly for being in their lives.
Dem dey, no doubt.
But…
I no be one of dem, no apologies.
I want to build something that’s real, sweet and sustainable with ya.
Na why I just dey clear you as the matter be.
So dat you no go dey with me while your mind dey with those kine guys.
You dey feel me, baby?
I care about you too much to fool you or string you along with lies and fake promises.
They say love is blind, okay.
Love fit dey blind sha,
but I think you need your eyes open to see the relationSHIP You wanna get into.
So that you’ll decide to get aboard or back off with your full succulent bweessss. 😃
I no go promise you heaven and earth o, but…
If we dey together, we go create our world wey fit make even heaven and earth jealous.
Ehen, before I forget…
Baby, I’m not a fan of the 1-day show of love amd affection o. 💔😅
If that’s a red flag for you, abeg, just disembark jejely.
I won’t hold it against you, trust me.
You’re an adult, and you DESERVE to be LOVED how you wanna be loved.
Whether we’ll continue talking after this moment or not, I just want to let you know that…
I’ll never regret crossing paths with ya.
One of the sweetest humans I’ve met.
And if we lose touch after now, I’ll understand.
It’s life.
And in life, not all roads leads to happy endings, yeah?
Cool!
I go use that one console myself.
But, if your mind still dey after all the things you dun hear
I suppose carry you up and swing you around cos…
Why is your love stubborn like this?
Many women would’ve taken off after the first few paragraphs cos they prefer the lies and pretenses.
But you, with your level of beauri, intelligence and assets, still wanna sail the ship with me even after all my attempts to make you leave?
Nah, you’re unbelievable.
And you deserve the world, baby!
Take kiss!
Infact, take more 💋💋💋.
You papa born you well!
Eishhhh
See as you wan make hard guy dey blush.
Eh God! 😅
Dis awa love go make Romeo and Juliet jealous sha!
But, e no get wetin dem fit do.
So, no shaking.
I mount you 💯
Your love Doc,
Efe
P.S. In a world full of scripted love stories, we should choose reality.
No fake promises, no pressure, just be real, raw and chill.
Yes, I know loving someone requires making sacrifices and compromises here and there for the other person, but…
It shouldn’t be at the detriment of the relationship, yeah?
Do your best to make it beautiful and sweet.
If they vibe with that, you move ahead. If not, you should vibe apart.
Life no too hard laidat, na we just dey complicate am by ourselves.
Remember, don’t be less, and never settle for less. ( E get why) 😉
Stay Sharp!
