Christmas Love Message III

Jenny: Now is quite clear is you I love. Circumstances and time has made things obviously clear. Haven't given you too much of a tough time, have I?. I know sometimes I go off, which makes it difficult telling what my true intentions are. Nevertheless, you've always been patient and selfish with me, through it all. Even though, you haven't been 100% dependable on. Your efforts are genuine and sincere and that along speaks highly of you. I may have been occupied most of the times you needed me, being stuck up in one thing or the other. Yet, that didnt deter you from jumping into another's arms. You stuck around like a trustworthy person and I admire that a lot. From the look on your face, you're waiting to hear something extremely romantic. Too bad I guess, but you know I'm more of a pragmatic person and words ain't really my thing. Since there are different platforms of expressing one's love; this is one weakest aspect of mine. Will make it up to you in the practical aspect. Don't forget that I love you. And please keep on being the first to say hello even when I never do. Don't stop being sweet to me, based on my reactions cause I'm only human. Let nothing come between us.

Christmas Love Message II

Hilda: Calling somebody your own with a certain assurance is difficult these days. And knowing that someone has got your back, 'no matter what', isn't that assuring either. Also looking at the way relationships are failing is as if they all have a time-bomb attached to it. Whenever you see one's status as, 'actions speak louder than words'. You know the other messed up.

Christmas Love Message

Phil: I wouldn't want to beat around the bush. But I realized being straight forward wouldn't help either in this scenario. But Lord knows, I try hard to ignore or push you away all the time, and the more I do, the more I see myself get hurt in the process. I just love myself around you all the time. And anytime I see you, I wish you could stay a little longer. I even go that far to ignore others whenever you say you're coming over. Only to see you show up and leave just right away or you show up and don't even come inside. I just want you to know there's no condition attached to my love for you. Don't worry I'm very much aware you have another. I think is quite obvious who that guy is. And you pretty much figured out where this conversation was headed right from the start. I mean no harm though. I do see you chat with this guy a lot. I'm sure you know whom I'm referring to. I wouldn't lie about that not making me jealous. But something has got to kill a man. And constantly rejecting me only kills me softly. I bet you've never had this feeling of wanting someone that bad but they never try to love you back. I can tell, you just don't like the idea of others seeing us as lovers. Your compusure around me when surrounded by others makes that obvious. And what do I do to make you mine isn't the question you wanna hear right now. I can't promise you I would keep my distance. Neither will I let you go. Please love me back.

Don't Be Too Busy To Communicate

Anonymous: I wouldn't prefer dating someone who is always busy to communicate, to talk of marriage. If the communication is strong, I wouldn't be bothered at all. And if they are willing to share their whereabouts and what they are up to with me, then that's enough for me. All I need to see is that, they're making the effort. Cause I rely more on actions; not only words. But if they have no time for me on their busy days. Then it would mean there's a lot they're​ not telling me. And I wouldn't even know if they decide to go have fun at 6pm and return at 8pm, without any photo update on their whatsApp status, cause they wouldn't tell me either. Unless, a good friend tells me, they met them here or there. And if they forget to say hello or reply my messages even when they are online. And they've already started apologizing for their absence and promised a couple of times to make it up to me. I only see them on their schedule cause their timetable are always packed. I call them; they don't pick up as and when I have something on my mind to share. I send them urgent messages; they don't reply on time. Eventually, I result to reading their messages any least chance I get, cause if I feel they cannot tell me what they've been up to all day in details, either than "nothing much" and "nothing really" then how does that make me feel?. Imagine you've not heard from someone the whole day, then you call at the end of the day to ask about what they've been up to all day and they say, "nothing". Also, when I need someone to confide in, talk to, comfort me, share ideas with, understand me, encourage me, elevate me; they are either occupied or absent-minded. So would it be any different, when we get married?. My point is; it's only natural that everyone makes time for the things or people they love and care about. In other words, what and whom do you spend most of your busy and leisure time on?

The Missing Ingredient


Monica: I'm not really good at giving details but I will try as much as possible to share with you why I like him more. I met this guy at the gym, Leslie, he said is his name. I meet new people everyday, cause I'm always up and about. But, you can always tell when the feeling about someone is different. For a moment, I noticed someone staring at me from time-to-time during my workout sessions. Then after a while, I was also peeping at him from time-to-time as well. This went on for like a week. I mean, if you go to the gym, you would realize that most of the boys are so friendly that they would come talk to you even when there's no need to. But this very guy, always smiled at me without a word. That really got to me though. I wondered why he was so weird. Then one time, I decided to join up with him in his stomach workout. I managed to talk to him and he replied so politely and his english was on point. Surprisingly, I never got tired that day during the workout with him. From that day onwards, we started working out together. Then I realized, he was actually funny, little cheeky but very honest and he had an infectious smile. And he's into a lot of things I love. He's really smart and creative. He's the quiet type, but it's interesting being around him. I think he's that missing ingredient in my life.

That Got Me No Where

Lexington: All I ever did was to please you, but that got me no where. I groomed my actions to suit your specifications just to make you happy. Cause I always wanted you to want me as much as I wanted you. But with time, I realized I was losing myself into becoming someone you wanted me to, yet at the same time, appreciating you for whom you were. And that left you in a very comfortable spot. Leaving me in an unbalanced situation, playing two roles at the same time. I guess that gave you the opportunity to call the shots. To speak your mind freely without holding back or taking decisions to suit yourself. Cause you only had yourself to please and didn't need to wait for my consent. Even though, that made me feel less appreciated, I didn't notice until now. Wouldn't say I was blinded by love, but I was caught up in your love spell. From now onwards, I'm gonna be myself. I would like that you love me for me.

Tribute to Obama Look Alike

Nagie's Angels: If there was anything brighter than the morning sun, it was your future. Your utmost potential yet untapped made yearn for more of you. You were self-made but the journey was at length. Your full-strength determination made you an epitome of excellence since that day you met Obama. You were so zested to attain greater heights. And you soared as high as an eagle. Your leadership was staggeringly a memorable one. It was as if the heritage of Obama was passed unto you. Such charisma, passion, bravery, exuberance encompassed you like an armor. Yet your brotherhood was your bouncy castle. Everyone that knew you, saw potential. A rear potential that couldn't be shut down. A vibrant young man right from junior high school through to the university. Yet death, stole you away from us. As irreplaceable as you are, we will always hold you high esteem for the little but great impact you had on everyone around you. May your soul rest in perfect peace.

Girl Your Love is Wicked

Edwin: I wonder what your definition of love was, when you said you loved me. It wasn't once you said that, but on different occasions. Yet you've chosen another over me without my knowledge. Thinking that we were at the verge of getting back together, not knowing the brief distance you gave me was a caution that you have given in to another. May I ask what's so different about him?. What special qualities does he possess?. What made you easily choose him over me?. I wonder if there's an actual answer to all these questions in my head right now. And whether your answers would be convincing enough. I didn't do anything wrong to deserve this. But don't worry, I will surely find another. Please don't come back, cause you've made it quite clear over and over you don't want me anymore. So don't try to hold me back when I try my best to move on. I've been around you for so long, trying to get you to myself but anytime I feel we are, you surprise me once again. I can't do this no more.

I Looked Stupid

Linwood: I've felt stupid once. I remember that day so well as if it was just yesterday. It was on one fateful night, when I decided to share my feelings with the one girl I want to date in college. It took me almost three hours to sum it all up in three paragraphs that night. Hoping to at least, see a reply when I wake up that very morning. I woke up and there was no reply from her. I checked her status and noticed she hadn't yet been online. I archived her on my whatsapp chat list, just to try forget about it until she replied. I really tried my best to keep it together that day. Before I realized, it was 4pm in the evening and still no reply. I was about calling, when I decided to check up if she had read my message, of which whatsapp confirmed she had. I sent another message and later decided to delete it. She noticed that I deleted a message through whatsapp notification, and pleaded that I should rewrite it, cause she really wanted to read it. But I didn't have the message, so I decided to write it all over again. She was online waiting for the message the whole time. She read it after I had sent it to her and yet no reply, not even an emoji. I send her a message that I was waiting for a reply. She didn't reply that either. Then later in the night, she sent a message, I quote,"hope you are fine?". I mean, like seriously?, who does that?.

The Path We Chose V

Hakim: Funny as this may sound, but anytime I tried leaving Fred's (Jackie's friend) room. They would bring up this topic, of me not having patience. They even proceeded to ask if I were single and concluded that my impatience was the main cause. I decided to wait anyway and accompany Jackie to her room afterwards and leave right away. Before I knew it, I was also holding the game controller playing the Fifa 18 as well. There was also loud music and pop corn so we all lost track of time until I had a phone call. I took out my phone and saw 7missed calls and the time was 6:47pm. I verified if that was the correct time from Fred. As he was verifying, I was already headed for the door. As soon as he confirmed, I stepped out. Jackie realized that I wouldn't be coming back so she followed. She tried convincing me to at least walk her to her room. She collected my phone and started viewing images in my gallery. She peeped at me anytime she saw an image of me and a lady. She then came across a writing entitled, 'a path we chose', with her name in it. She opened her door, hurriedly sat down and started reading. To be continued.

The Path We Chose IV

Hakim: I managed to get to the room before 12am. I had no clue how I ended up in bed when I woke up and it was almost 10am. I switched on my data and the messages kept on coming. I scanned through and saw Jackie's name. She said, "I'm not feeling too well this morning, and you know I'm in 1 in a room, and I also don't have any friends in this hostel. Kindly buy me yam 2cedis, with fish and sausage, and sobolo with ginger 2cedis, thank you. Please I'm very hungry, hurry up." I almost decided to go buy it for her but I got an idea to call up first. I called up and it was so noisy in the background. I noticed she was in a friend's room, judging from the intensity of the music and laughter at the background. In a most calm and feeble voice, she said, "So you decided not to come, haven't you seen my 2 missed calls. I've eaten now, a friend bought food for me and now I'm stuck in his room. Please come for me okay. Don't have an excuse to give in order to leave". I knew this was a flimsy excuse to see me, but I decided to give her the benefit of the doubt for the first time. I got there at 1pm. And there she was playing Fifa 18 on a flatscreen Tv and screaming on top of her voice. To be continued.
