Give Love A Chance
His friends were having a birthday bash
He had to be there
Babes will fall in
There would be good music and loads of fun
Plus he needed to go out and start mingling again
His surprise tactics on the previous Valentine’s day had boomeranged
His babe had asked him several times
"Would you be coming to my school on Valentine's day?"
Are we planning anything?
He had told her No!
Partly because he was expecting some money and he didn’t want to disappoint her
Again because he wanted to see her face light up as he popped the question
Will you marry me?
The money he was expecting came in
He bought the ring
Bought loads of provisions
She was in the final year on campus
He had just gotten employed at a brokerage firm
Valentine's day came
He went to her house
Saw her father
Saw her siblings
Where is so and so
Nobody knows
Her father said "She must be in school"
He got in the car, he wanted to do the needful in front of her entire family'
He got to her hostel
She was not there
One of her roommates told him to check an event centre
She said she was going to the Valentine's show
Maybe he would see her
He got to the event centre
Music, booze, crowd and a lot of noise
The season of love was in full gear
He scanned the crowd
Where could she be
He saw her, in a very obscure corner
Kissing a guy
He almost fainted
A lady he had been nurturing for four years
He kept his gaze on them
For almost fifteen minutes
A stare has a penetrating way of tingling its object
She eventually looked up and stared straight back at him
She almost went crazy
He saw her reaction
It was enough
He left
He got to her house
Removed his ring
Dropped the other items
Went home
It was hell
She called
Why?
What had she got to say
He had hoped on love
He had been severely dealt with
He kept to himself from then on
A daughter of Eve had bitten him with the venom of the serpent
It hurts real bad
He vowed never to go near the tree of love again
It hurts
His friends dragged him to the party
It had been six months
He needed to mingle again
The horse of love sometimes fell its rider
So what?
Get back on it and ride again
He just wasn't in the mood
But they dragged him out of his house
He decided he would attend but just to watch
Then she arrived
This beautiful girl
An undergraduate from a nearby university
She came with her friends
The moment he saw her
The venom flew out of his system
Oh, GOD!
She was the exact image of what he had pictured in his mind
She was it
Oh, God!
He walked up to her
He smiled
His friend introduced her
His friend: This is so and so
He: I will marry you (He didn’t plan to say it, it just came out)
She laughed
And just like that, they exchanged numbers
He went to her hostel
They became friends
She graduated and served
She got employed
They got married
They have been married for ten years
They have three boys
He said it was love at first sight
She said as soon as he spoke, she knew he was the one

PS:
No matter how badly you have been hurt by love, love has the uncanny ability to repair you.
Give love a chance!
