True Feelings
Have you ever compressed your feelings into words and expressed them to whoever they were meant for? My guess is YES! We all have sent romantic letters, mails and text messages to our lovers. Though some of my readers might not actually have tried sending a real hand-written letter because everything has gone electronic. Hmmm, electronic love. That sounds like a good topic to write about.
So back in my undergrad days, I had two lovebirds living right under my
nose. They were such a lovely couple, they got me on my toes and
reminded me everytime to get myself entangled in a love nest. The
most interesting part of it is that I was appointed as the
umpire/referee of their relationship, which means I had to blow the
whistle each time one commited a foul. The 'husband' came to me when
the 'wife' did something wrong and she did likewise. I had to advise,
console, exhort. I loved my job description and I loved them both
dearly.
One of
those confiding days, the 'wife' came up to me and we got chatting
about them. She told me about how much she loved him and how she

Writing
this piece gives my tender heart joy because its straight from the
heart. Just like a dream, my life started to take foreplay right

miles cos she loves her boo; I guess I could go beyond the sky
without gravitational opposition just because I can do anything for
you.
Then
what on earth do I think I can do because I love you?? Quite a
rhetorical, I really don't need an answer yet I wanna know. Coat of
many colours Dolly Parton said her mom sewed for her with love on
every stitch, but for me, my heart is the coat cos its got
several signs of love which I can't even explain to myself let alone
you. Like a lullaby my heart goes on like a soaring eagle.
I
can't get enough of you cos my heart now insists that it is a
criminal of love.....for you.

That
was 3 years ago...and i've kept it ever since. I love the tone of
sincerity it has and every man or woman would love to be loved that
much. Remember, always express the way you feel.
