Innocent Hugs

Everything flashes back like yesterday
Met u at my friend’s church
U distributed your fatherly hugs around

U had to move in because of the repairs on 3rd mainland
Oh, the multiplier effect of poor infrastructure
U wanted family evenings together –TV, eating, gist et al
But luckily our work wouldn’t let us
U shared the hugs evenly – mine & hers

Saw the way u looked at her
But haba! how can I suspect Mr Deacon
Closer to 50 than 45
‘It can’t be what I’m thinking’
Then she had to travel
Leaving the 2 of us alone

My only worry was your addiction to gist
then .......the reality of the hugs
Couldn’t compare with hers anymore
Is it the Babcock in me that is so uncomfortable?
Ok……..

Then I avoided you and the hugs......
U came & hugged unexpectedly
Then started adding interesting pecks
Confusion bami immediately
Deacon!!!!!!!!!!

Is this still brotherly love?
U are her uncle’s close friend
R u thinking at all????
Or nah my imagination.

I avoided seeing u in d morning or when I got back from work
‘Cos u smartly used morning & night greetings as a platform
Ah ah egbon pastor!
When hug start to last for more than 15 secs
&your hands start to move…….

Ehmm ……I dey squat for someone’s house
I go com tell am say him close friend nah ……………
No be me ooo
Nah pack I dey pack soo
But b4 then, swallow dis sms jo…

Still in tears

I knew it wasn’t right. Personal values, societal values and all the works, I didn’t let us grow. We kept it platonic (difficultly so). Our hearts wanted more. Our heads knew better. Only space and time can heal us. I’m utmostly grateful for your THERENESS, Your openness, your romance, your consistency and your maturity. I did it for your clan, for my man for myself & for you. When we meet in future, because  I'm sure we will, We’ll catch up on our phases.  I will miss you sorely.  Still in tears.

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. 'Jan '09
