Our Strong Love…

Is it enough? maybe it is... maybe not... You decide! Oh! and let me know your thought...

Alanni mi…

Alanni okunrin takun takun

The day we met was magic

Do you remember?

I remember like it was yesterday

You saw me and I saw you

From across the park

Your mother had convinced you to go to the trade fair with her

Iya Alanni… always determined in her ways

That determination was the reason we met

Every girl was looking at you...

My friend, Abeni would not stop talking about you...

about your big beautiful eyes that lights up when you smiled

I noticed it too... your eyes... so simple, yet so beautiful

Remember, our second meeting?

It was 2months after the first

We met on my way to the market

I saw you... you saw me

When you smiled at me... I felt it

I felt the butterflies Abeni always talked about

They were right there in my stomach

I felt them more each time you smiled

When you asked to be my friend,

I couldn't say No…so I said yes

You would not leave my thought Alanni

Every day, I think about you

Maybe it was love...it must have been…

Then you said you loved me

And I believed you

The day my father gave my hand to you was a bright one

Your grin was like a Cheshire cat…we were happy

You looked at me like I was magic

You promised my father that you would take care of me

And you did…

Just last night, you told me what I already knew... that you love me

Today, Abeni came boasting that you are her lover

I told her my Alanni loves me… as much as I love him

I told her of our strong love

She said Love is not enough

Was she right, Alanni?

Is our love really not enough?
