I HOLD YOU

Wish I could come out of shame,

Tell the world that it is you that I love the most,

Yet in your heart I have no place,

My human nature misses you,

Should I say this to Tolu,Deji,Juwon or Seyi?,

I already can picture them laughing at me,

Oh!do you see me like the african queen crooner?,

I don't mind!because he is a man after my heart,

Can't forget your smiles,majestic steps and your wishes for me,

I can see prying eyes,

No regrets that we did not finally make a vow to live forever,

Yet she built a man that is caring,loving and a friend of God,

Oh!funmilola just called me,asking if it was you,

I said to my sister,it was that puppy love known to you before you left for the U.S of A,

She stifled a ​​smile and told me 'You let a rare gem slip through',

I got stripped of words,

But I could still mumble some laughs over her words,

Who would sit and write over a heartbeat that stopped breathing for a while?,

Nobody knows am dying to see you live your life

But that will never make me deny to the world you are getting married,

Yet I will deny the world what I shared with the incredible you,

Its amazing,its spirit filled,u gave me a life,

No one can take that away from you,

But as much as you prepare your vow,

I also prepare a word or two for BIG MUMMY,

 I remember her gap-tooth ​​smile,

Wasn't sure if she liked me but her reception always gives me comfort,

Its with grief in my heart that I wasn't told she was dead and gone,

Its been long I heard her speak but not her words,

Am just glad you ​​are happy,

People that do not know you once hugged me in smiles,

Would know I was a reason you smiled,

I bow out from a life I would never have in lost memories,

Yet it is the only solace I have,

I wish my best friend ever to live,a life of bliss,

An adventure am yet to experience,

Live it,Bask in it,Enjoy every bit,You sure are a real African Queen.
