If not love, then what?

By

If it's not love, then what is it?

The feelings
The sparks
The mental audio-visuals of times shared

If it's not love, so what is it?

The fluttering in your belly
They call it butterflies

If it's not love, so what is it?

The moments of silence together
Listening quietly to non-uttered words of mutual affection

If it's not love, so what is it?

The noisy times
Chattering and laughing
Talking about everything and nothing

If it's not love, so what is it?

The long deep stares
That finally give way for a slow blink

If it's not love, so what is it?

The short deep stares that end with a coy smile

If it's not love, so what is it?

The long memorable moments that seem too short

If it's not love, so what is it?

The little moments that seem like forever

If it's not love, so what is it?

If it's not love, then what is it?

I thought I knew you! Till I realized I didn't know me You changed me Then left me clueless

  How soon is too soon Before the rust on love  Is washed away The first sight? The first hello? Where do you go When you find yourself Nursing a thirst for a human soul So alien to you It dehydrates your concentration Only your eyes can see it Your souls have met That voice That unshakable nature The weird echoes of joy Is all you're afforded Nonetheless priceless They say the third eye is clearest So you're sure That seeing it In your dreams  Is nothing but a good sign Will I ever see you? Or will my dreams  Remain the only bridge  Upon which our stars cross By Deelivia and Damilare

 Hi there! Thank you for clicking that link 😘  This is an unplanned write-up. I just wish to share what the year has been like for me. Ok truth is, I have never been the type to end a year in a grand way (relationship-wise) by doing appreciation posts, mentioning names of people that had an impact in my life that year and the like. I equally am not loud about things I will be stopping or people I will be cutting off. I notice many people do that “this new year, I’m cutting off toxic friendships” bla bla bla. My dear me sef, I want to cut my own self off... scratch that. Apparently, the year 2020 was a tough one for everyone globally. Mehn!!!! The first painful thing for me was Kobe and Gigi Bryant’s death, alongside everyone on the craft with them. I wept! I wept like I had a personal relationship with them. I am still not over Kobe’s death. I loved that man. Then I lost a very dear friend in February. There were several deaths here and there. Chadwick Boseman’s death shook the world
