A LOVE STORY

Shittu Abubakar 2001 (Kwara)



HIM..

Ever since I caught a glimpse of her pretty eyes some months ago,
 I knew I'd found a place I'd forever want to call home.

From the smiles that form when I see you walk by, to the pounding in my chest when a guy calls you friend,
  These are the moments I cherish the most in my life.

I hope to continue doing my part - buying you even what you need not, take you on dates and make you smile as always,
 For you're the best anyone could ask for, the prettiest in the whole wide world.

HER...
My friends do not and wouldn't ever understand why our bond is so much more put beside the friendship I have with them.
 It's not about being friends from young or attending same schools for so long - nah! You're to me what no one can be:

Someone I yearn for all through the night,
 whose touch alone settles any sadness in my heart,
 I wash my face so many times a day yet your love still dazzle me every time.

You're a wish to be wished for,
a special being among your equals,
you're what every woman could ever ask for,
 I love you beyond measure.
