Day III WRITER: Towa Kuboye TITLE: Do You Know What Love Is?
I am no Noah Bello, neither am I an Ugwueze Nicole.
But what I have, I will articulate as much as I can.
Most of my life, I’ve searched for something without really realizing it.
I’ve waded through mud and weeded out some tares.
I’ve handpicked people and moved with the crowd. But I never really did find what I was looking for.
All I got was snippets of something so groundbreaking and not understandable.So illogical, yet so mesmerizing that it made me feel drunk while it lasted.
With Tim, I felt like I could fly, I felt like it would be forever.
Then there was Adrian, please stop making people pine for you Adrian.
And now, well then… There was Kamal. My sweet mysterious Kamal. Kamal opened- Kamal aroused me. I think you get the point already.
But I was searching for a hell-freezing love. I was searching for the love that would encompass me.
The love that will tell me- No, I’m tired of so many words. We hear them everyday right?Oh I want a beautiful Love.
The Love that will hold me so tight.
The Love that will hold my face and speak to me with its eyes.
The Love that compliments me everyday. The Love that will hold me and say nothing, just absorbing my fears and griefs, neutralizing them.
Oh! A Love so patient with me, so understanding about my lack of intelligence.
A Love that understands why my eyes suddenly change direction, that understands when he hears sniffles while there is no cold, a Love that gives me unconditional long and tight bear.hugs. I really like hugs.
Not all hugs, His Hugs.
That Love that understands I can’t speak when I’m feel feeling tide upon tide of calm and tender waves of happiness.
He understands that broad smile I have, when I can’t speak.
I smile a lot, but He KNOWS the smile I’m talking about. He Always Knows.
Our visions of love may be different, but I hope mine gave you an insight on the love I’ve been searching for.I
I’m sorry if it didn’t, I’m not so good with words.
I hate watching people display their love.
