Love

I hardly look at my Mama's food

And I lost interest in any game

All I care about was to look at the window

In anticipation to that figure

I saw walked past in the morning 

He came around just fine

Rightly down to my doorstep 

Requesting a woman living nearby 

Somewhere I could have pointed to

I had to walk him down to the street 

He look up to me and smiled, And that took my breath away

Could this be the love my peers were talking about?

The one that made them cry helplessly 

Was this the same love, that made some people forgotten in psychiatric?

The one that put butterflies in my stomach?

And made me look a little younger

Was this the so called love which made me waited for hours?

If this is what it means

I'll follow him down to his house

Request his hands in marriage 

And pay for bride price

Just then I realised

I was a lady after all

Who had fallen for a total stranger

What harm can this do

Giving this stranger just a peck

Is it on a forehead or below the chin

I'm confused at where to place it

Just lost in my thought

He look straight at me and smiled

"Can I know you more he asked"

Maybe I thought he said kiss

With my eyes closed and heart trembling

I landed a quick kiss on his lips
