Was it Fate or a patient partner?
WAS IT FATE OR JUST A PATIENT PARTNER?
As a child, I saw you always sitting on your bike,
You had this energy that I like,
You were a year or two older, didn’t have your birth certificate so couldn’t tell your real age,
You were calm and always smiled,
Like you never thought the universe will ever get cold,
And those Grey sweatpants you wore as a child,
You were just too tender and mild;
Maybe it was my imagination.
Years had passed, as broken as I was and withered the feelings I had for you were,
One day I saw someone with the same walk as you,
I laughed and couldn’t believe you came to mind when I saw them walk.
This big city with all the people I had met, it was you that came to mind.
Dark circles around my eyes
With a dark halo hovering above my head,
My heart cold as ice;
Just got out of a bad relationship.
Drunk to a brink!
Then I bumped into someone
It was you again.
The Grey sweatpants guy.
My breath made you smile;
You knew where I had been.
You carried me and asked for my address.
But Ghana we dey address no dey job
You sat by me in a taxi and took me to your house.
No one had gone this extra mile!
You were in a bad place too,
But we had no regrets it happened.
I woke up and left with my number and a name,
Hoping you’ll never call.
But you did and apologized.
We agreed to coffee and you mentioned your name.
I laughed and blushed I knew it was lame
But it was you, yes you from my childhood.
One night stands turned into two and more,
You loved me and helped me through my cheating issues.
Every time I asked for quits, you only smiled and said “for better for worst and the worst came, I am staying and helping you”
And I knew that was love,
I swear I always get teary that you stood by me.
Your love for me,
Never once did you act up.
I saw the pain sometimes and I did drugs.
You helped me through therapy
You saw my weakness and you built it into strength.
Now I am yours ever faithful.
It was fate, or just patience from you
But when I ever reincarnate let me still meet you.
Undying and unconditional love you showed.
My growth was shocking.
But yes I did when I was loved right.
