Future III

Yaw: Meet Tanya, we met at an interesting stage in our lives. She was transitioning from her bad habits. Since she was tired of her old ways and wanted to try something new. She thought turning a new leaf was a good idea. And there I was, as clean as a Pope, ignorant of any bad deed. Ready to have a feel of enjoyment in life. I remember the first time I was kissed by a girl unexpectedly, I actually said sorry, as if I did something wrong. The girl laughed at me for a whole minute. I guess that was the first time she met a guy like that; hearing we existed. Another time, I went to this birthday bash and I was dancing with one fine lady. I thought I was killing it, until she turned and was like, "Really!, Is that all you can do?". Another encounter was with this Latino girl I met, she one time asked me to massage her cause she was so tired. My hand just kept shaking non-stop as if I was holding ice, she just kept laughing. Tanya on the other hand was that bad but hadn't really tried a lot of stuffs that I wanted to try. But she had done a bunch of messed up things she didn't wanna talk about. Even her standing posture was tempting, to talk of her sucking her lips when they were​ dry. You could just tell she knew stuff. I remember the first time we both went to the club. She actually danced for five hours non-stop and all I did was stand there and shake my head. Most of the guys around, wished they were in my shoes. Some tried to take my place but she pulled me even closer. Others showered insults on me. They just couldn't understand why I had a fired up girl to dance with and I was acting all timid and dull. Other times we would go to church together and I would be all over the place during praises and worship while she stands there idle as dead. Some interesting experiences we had. She's now married to a pastor, and I to a nurse

Future II

Fritz: You've shown me so much love I cannot account for. So much love I didn't think of. Sometimes, I know I don't act right and all but anytime I sit back and begin to think about my life, you pop up. We've had so many experiences that has opened my eyes to redefine life. Truth be told, my life was boring until you walked into it. I remember how I repeated the same routines everyday and wasted most of my time on people that didn't give me positive feedback. Your entrance into my life was an interesting one. You just walked right into my life and locked the door behind you, leaving the key in my wallet. Giving me the option to let you go whenever I feel like, cause you wouldn't want to forceful​ly be in my life. I'm sorry if I've ever been ungrateful in anyway. If you've ever sacrificed your time, money, leisure for me that I didn't show much appreciation for it. I know deep down in my heart I've got so much love for you, how do I know?, I sure do. I remember all the countless times I've had sleepless nights or lost concentration working cause of the way I did you wrong. And I love the way, all you want to hear me say is, I'm sorry. No matter how much I messed up, you still stretched out your hand, willing to pull me even closer. There's been so much drama yet you're always willing to let go of the past. I don't get jealous cause I trust you; my kind of jealousy is the fear of losing you. Talk to me cause agatchu!. We've come a long way to be letting stuff eat you up without letting me know.

Future

Van: I think I've got you stuck-up​ in my head. But something prevents me from hitting you up. I wouldn't call it pride, neither am I playing it safe, and Iemme put it out there that I do care a lot as well. I wish I had the words to describe this particular feeling. Please don't get me wrong. And I'm not trying to find my way with words as this may seem. Cause it would really hurt me if you tag me right away without giving me a chance. A chance not to proof myself to you, but to show you how true it is that two heads are better than one, and that plus one, if me, would make us an undisputed pair. You may have your doubts as I also have mine, yet my certainty about you is inevitable. Please hold my hand and let's look into the future together. Let's share our goals and objectives, and help each other reach higher heights. Don't let go when things become complicated. Stand by me always, and if you get tired, you're permitted to get a chair and sit beside me. Cheers to a brighter future!

Behind

Inez: Alright so I read and heard about all the stuffs you were quite bold to say behind my back. I'm saying this because we always have the opportunity to talk. If we don't talk at all, then I would understand you totally. But we do talk, and you don't mention all the things you choose to tell Abena about. Truth be told, if you tell me those things it would be very messy between us but don't we always get through it. But here is the case, I'm hearing it from a third party. And that explains the obvious, and for sure I shouldn't have be​en happy about it at all, until that person also happens to be my close friend and she feeds me with all the gossips and complaints you tell her behind my back. So now you understand why I act the way I do, and in your head, you're thinking you've done nothing wrong. Those very times you think, "I get pissed at you for no reason", are the times I read all about the information you say behind my back, and just after reading, there you would be, looking all innocent and acting all sweet. That alone injects anger into my veins and sucks the energy out of me, making me pissed and hungry at the same time. What is wrong telling me straight to my face what's on your mind, rather than bottling it up and spilling it to another soul to feed on. What good does that bring anyway?. If maybe you think telling me would solve nothing, what would telling a total stranger do?. I just thank God the one you were telling was my close friend. So if she didn't know me as you were thinking, then in her head she would have painted me black from your choice of words. I hope telling her all those information made you feel better?, while I had no idea how you actually felt and all you would say was, "it's okay". Not knowing, the matter was being elaborated to someone else. And the funny thing is that, all the suggestions she gave you were from me. Happy now?

For This I Fear

Cruise: My greatest fear is; not being able to comfort her when she is down and broken. The Lord knows that I try, but nothing I do seems to work. It isn't that she shuts me out completely, because I can see the effort she makes as well; to let me in. Yet, nothing I do cheers her up. I now understand why she told me sometime ago, that, she heals on her own and she's been use to doing that since her infancy. She tries her best to be cheerful, the only problem is that; I can always tell when something is wrong. She could be laughing all day and going about her usual routines, yet one look at her face and I can see her pain right through her. And she knows this, so she prevents that every time, because she doesn't want to see me get affected. She tries to ignore me however means possible, but that draws me even closer and makes me curious to know what the problem really is. She tries to communicate but the sorrow in her heart limits her speech. Her pain aggravates anytime she tries to express exactly how she feels. She has to talk to someone anyway, to help her healing process. I feel her pain like it's mine, yet nothing I say penetrates. The pain builds an armour around her heart and mind, and the door to unlock is no where within my reach. For this I fear, that the pain would let her do things just to get back at me and one day, she might go overboard. And that may ruin things between us.

My First Kiss

Winnie: I do remember my first kiss, but I don't think is necessary to share anyways. Honey, why do you wanna know?. Of what good use would it be?. Sweetness, I know you want to know everything about me. That's sweet and all but some issues are unnecessary to dig into, it only brings chaos and despair. Let's just look into the future and forget about the past. I've told you everything you need to know about me alright. I know you so well, and I can tell the possible follow-up questions. Don't worry, I know you're​ a little freaked​ out cause of the things you heard about my senior high school, and the kind of things almost all of us are known for, but that shouldn't get into your head so much. Moreover, I'm not bothered at all when I see you hanging with Tyson. He being a casanova and all but I don't get worried cause I know you won't do shit. Okay!, truth but told, I feel more safe around you cause I know you never messed up in senior high, in fact, you've never messed up your whole life. That's a good thing for me, cause I started messing up right from primary, and I got my first kiss in class 3. That's as far as I can go on the sharing thing, cause I would have so much to share and you wouldn't, which would feel more like an interrogation at a point and what would be the fun in that?. I love you okay!, so wipe that expression off your face and kiss me. That's my babe!.

Person of Interest

Claudia: A friend once told me something and I think it really made sense. I didn't have to go think it through. I just knew on the spot it made perfect sense. I called her one time, and we were having this great chat, until she asked me, what I have been up to these couple of weeks that I don't even say hello anymore?. Truth be told, I didn't feel like replying because we both knew what the answer was. Anyways, it look like it wasn't a rhetorical question after all. "I have been very busy with this project my boss gave me, and I have to be going here and there for follow ups, moreover, I always have to make sure to meet the deadlines week after week, which stresses me out and I also get home late so I hardly get time these days", I replied. Per my reply I knew exactly what the follow up question was. "So what about my missed calls, you never saw them?", She asked. And I replied, I was meaning to call back but anytime I tried to something seemed to pop up or I was in a hurry to do something. She wasn't convinced yet decided not to stretch the topic any longer so she concluded by saying something that hit me straight at my heart. She said,"everyone is busy with something, but we all make time for the people/things important to us." My life has not been the same since then and I thought you should know.
