Love At First Sight

Chioma A Okolo 1992 (Obiaruku)



One lovely evening, taking a stroll,
Thinking of the word called Love,
Wondering if I would ever find love or it finds me,
Saying to myself, I want a pure & true love;
One, free from deceit
One with no competition
One free from evil
One that makes me a better person
One that makes me put her first
Lost in my thoughts, my eyes caught a write up,
"True Love Will Find You and guide your actions"
Steering at those words, lost in them,
I missed a step and bumped into someone,
Looking up to apologize, I saw Her;
Her face as bright as the moon
I steered into her eyes (breathtaking),
So beautiful like the northern lights.
I fell into a daze,
Seeing our present & future life together
in her eyes. Wow!
I came back to reality, and apologised.
She said it was okay with a Smile,
Gosh! My heart melted away
For a moment the universe was at a standstill.
She turned and left with her friends
She was called Aurora.
I got to know her name, 'Aurora'
Then it hit me,
Love just found me,
The rearest of them all just found me
It is, "Love At First Sight".
