Confession #1 Poem by Kwenadi Gaaje

When you finally meet someone who treat you better than your first....
He values you
Respects you
Knows your worth
Makes you feel like a queen you are...

Then maybe you think
"it's just a crush -in time it will vanish"
And you fall in love
It feels right
but you don't know what to do or think
You wish to tell your ardour him
Then you lie to yourself and say
"i do not love him, It's just lust portrayed in the 'love phrase'"
You constantly think of nothing but him...

Then you wish to believe it's too early to fall for him...
But when you with him
you hardly know how to control yourself
He doesn't hurt you
He does things for you better than your first
He doesn't make you cry
He puts you first
He trust you with everything...

You are too young
and scared to open your heart
To write the very story you hid for years
you want to make him your diary
To jot poems of love and that of sad times..
You wish to make him a book
to draw every feeling and emotion
Be it a good or a heartbreaking memory....

When you with him
You feel safe
When you wrapped in his arms
You cannot think of anything but to Pray he never stop hugging you...
His tongue-tight to light up your tremendous world..
His touch speaks directly to your body..
So when he is distant your heart longs for him
your soul yearns for him
your clings for him
Yet! you still wish to believe "it's lust, it cannot be love"


how hard can it be for you to finally open your heart
Be honest with yourself
And stop dreaming and worrying
when you know you are no longer emotionally drained and physically hurt..

You are happy
You are at peace
To your life he came with peace
He makes it easy to bear
is it because you feel like he is your brother and you cant have him as a lover?

he gives you enough to feed your soul
it's as if he knows you hurting
He quickly bring out the laughter in you
He always say with a smile "MANANA YOU WILL REMEMBER ME"
And each time he moves off your side
you wish he never leave...

It's meaningless this poem
it doesn't have a meaning
for its sense is withing him
For he is the meaning of this poem ""LOVE".....
