You make me wanna write a poem

I'm sure thoughts of you have crossed my mind a gazillion times in the last 6 days

I wonder why!

When i met you i began to have a secret crush on you ( i wish i knew how successful i was at the 'secret' bit)

then you fell in love.

I managed myself & depreciated my crush back to platonic levels.

We have done well as platonics and i have always imagined it to remain at that level.

All of a sudden thoughts of you begin to flood my mind
It scarces me
I'm forced to put my thoughts on paper


Logically, I dont want anything exceeding platonic levels because going by head sense, you dont strike me as my soul mate

Yet, the thoughts keep coming, i dont know what to do with them.

I wonder if thoughts of' 'us' have ever crossed your mind.
Trust me, i wouldn't sacrifice our friendship for these temporal feelings of mine

Hopefully, my soulmate will show up before any 'damage' is done.

Emotional Wahala…….

Emotion left on her own will depreciate someday While alive and in flames it seems as if you’ll be consumed if you don’t express her or the other party doesn’t react in the desired direction. She can bear many children ranging from flings to crushes to outright obsession and sometimes Love. Emotion on her own is healthy and she keeps the engine of relationships running. The kind we speak of in this note is when she ain’t mutual (or seemingly so). Emotion in this context: a state where your blood literally jumps out of your veins at the mention or sight of anything that concerneth the igniting party. Where you wait by your phone literally praying that a call comes in or you refresh your inbox like a gazillion times expecting an unsent message. Truth is, we have no control over these emotions; we don’t solicit for her birth. She just comes upon us suddenly. The only way out is managing her by putting her where she belongs. Oh yes there are solutions even if...
