If I see you, would you hold my hands,
Would you touch my lips and kiss it tenderly as you use to.
If I see you, will you hug me tightly so I can feel your warmth.
Will you whisper into my ears,
telling me of how you wish I was yours to have and to keep.
Will you let me touch your skin, caress your body and kiss the nipples on your chest because I'd love to again.
I want to feel you rise and fall inside me and I want to taste the sweat that trickles from your forehead to my face when we're racing in ecstasy.

Who am I?

I'm the sun that burns your worries,
The star that boosts your shine,
The moon that calms your anxiety,
And the storyteller that fill your ears.

I'm caring and very sarcastic,
Motherly with a crazy mood swing,
Loving yet so annoying,
And soft yet so tough.

I'm undeniably simple and sweet...

-

Oh! dear Moon,
Iluminate our soul,
with your bold smile.
Smoothe our worries,
with your perfect calm.
Quench our darkness,
with your shimmering shine.
And stay with us, all night long.

-

Oh! dear Sun,
Shine unto us without a frown,
Let the flames from your beauty burn,
Make it shimmer without a tear,
For we love thee with no fear,
Cast away our doubts,
As we are up and about,
Working for our seeds sprout.

As Awu got to the restroom, Peter was right behind her, he went towards her, looked at her eyes and was about to kiss her when Reje interrupted. "Awu I wan enter club with Robert, Emma and 2face, you dey come?" "Hmmm, no, I'll go home before my mum gets worried" "Yeye girl, let me know when you're home ooo" "I'll take her home myself Reje" Peter said and Reje left. "I guess you're stuck with me now" "I guess so". Awu replied and smiled sheepishly. Her mum called and yelled at her to return home. Peter took her home and kissed her cheeks. "I'll pick you up at 9am okay" "Okay, bye" both smiled...

-

"So how do you feel about me now?" Peter asked "I don't know, I can't really say" "Too bad then, if you had your previous feelings for me, I would have said it's mutual because I always did like you" Peter said. There was a cold deafening silence and Peter said "Are you free tomorrow?" Actually, Awu had plans but said "Not at all" "We have a date then, I'll pick you up". They knew each other houses but never talked to each other except the times he was speaking to Legbel after mass and on the street close to Mezac supermarket. Awu felt funny in her stomach and had to use the restroom...

-

Lizzy and Esther came to the bar And Robert went over to meet them. After a couple of minutes Robert and Lizzy joined Awu's, they asked after Esther and Lizzy said she had to leave because she has an early start the next day. At a point, Emma was talking with Reje, Robert was arguing over a girl with Lizzy and Awu and Peter were just looking at each other. Peter broke the silence and asked Awu why she unfriended him on Facebook and Awu said that news was going around that she had a crush on him while she told her friends Marvis and Alo that she only liked him...

-

Emma came over to Awu's table and told Awu and Reje to join him at his table. Before Awu could object, Reje took her drink and was dancing towards the table. To Awu's surprise she had a great time, they all talked and laughed at their attitude towards each other years ago and blamed it on adolescence. Peter was very expressive about his space, he said he can only open up to people he know but he has a stronghold on friendship. Awu and Peter's eyes met a couple of times and Peter will take his off then one time he didn't and Awu blushed...

-

"Hi Peter, compliment of the season" "Yeah! I noticed you haven't been around" "Yes i've been away for about three years" "So how has it been?" "Not bad" "Cool" Peter said and beaconed on the waiter. "Which kind dry gist be dis one, Emma make I commot here jare" Emma laughed "Wetin you bin dey expect?" Emma kissed Awu's cheeks again as she left to join Reje. Robert left to join his friends and it was Awu's time to sing. Awu choose two songs and the first one, Reje joined and spoilt it with her voice and the second, Reje didn't know it so she sang in peace...

-

It wasn't strange to see Peter sitting by himself while Emmanuel and Awu were conversing and Robert was singing with Reje. Reje chose 3 songs and was singing the second song at this time. "So till now Peter is still a snub?" Awu asked "Not at all, he's just not your friend" Emma replied with a chuckle "We don't have to be friends to have a conversation Emma" "I'm not having this argument with you Awu, oya come" Emma took Awu to where Peter was sitting. "Peter meet Awu, Awu meet Peter". Peter chuckled "Emma stop being dramatic, Hi Awu"...
