I like this version of me.
The me that no one sees but everyone can tell.
The me that is in men and women alike.

I like this version of me, who wants to do things right recklessly and effortlessly.

I love this version of me, up to date and unbothered by dates.

This is a rebirth known only to myself.
This is a mandate for all to see.
This is me!

A rainy day reminds me of you.
Your squeaky bed resounding our sweet harmony.
A warm embrace in cold weather…your smile the sugar in this coffee for two.
Rest in peace cause I rest with peace by your side.

My best times were with your pen fixing me right—
My haven is your voice everything soothing and pleasant.

Oh! I love the secret of you—sweet overbearing wine!

La-GOS!
The one with guts overwhelming and could be mistaken for gutsy!
The home of no one and everyone.
LA-gos!
The home of laughter and learning,
The unending hustle and bustle of life.
The land of peace and regrets!

I thought of you,
Our today and yesterday—
I simply wish on.

I only know words.
Maths? The only time I got to understand that world was when you spoke the language of love.
You told me our two becomes one but what you mean is 1/2 plus half becomes 1—and that became my favourite maths sentence: You and I equal 1.

I anticipate your coming.
Waiting to hear your sound on the roof.
With every drop, I feel a well of joy within me.
Tatata—-the sound of joy inside of me.

We fit as a puzzle—US

I never knew love like I do now before YOU.
—Redefined my sight and allowed me to be.
—Exposed my mind and dwelled in me; at every thrust, you make me thirst and hunger.

YOU wonder why not you first?
Did you miss that the one who comes to the complete truth owns it all?
First, you are there before, now and later.
Then, the number YOU is my favourite.

Let us dwell and bask in the euphoria of our hearts because without you in my heart I am afraid of what could happen.

Let US be unlike any other, nothing but US because our love is different.

Do not SINK!
No, we don't care how you do it,
The world doesn't need to know how.
Do it for you!
Again, DO NOT SINK.
