Too much, Too soon

They thought they knew what love was

He was 18, she was 17

Both in 100 Level

He was her Adonis

Handsome, thoughtful and kind

She was his Helen

A lady worth starting a war over

They were both studying Economics

They were in love

He wanted access into the garden

She was willing

He: Let's wait till you are 18

She: Why, there is no time like the present, I love you

He prevailed

They waited

As her 18th birthday approached

She made plans

It had to be special

They took a week away from school

Got themselves into a resort

A night to remember

It was done

They were the campus couple

The hope of searching hearts

The attachment was great

He is my man

She is my woman

The bliss was like the morning dew

It lifted too soon

She got pregnant!

He: You must abort it

She: I will not!

Parents got involved

It became a mess

Tears every day!

The tension was too much for them to bear

He hid behind his parents

She hid behind hers

Love and common sense in the boxing ring

Common sense gave love an uppercut

Love was knocked out

She deferred her admission for a semester

Went home to have the baby

He chased skirts

In the same department

Where the scandal was known to all

How come another lady agreed to date him

How come another girl slept with him

Feminism is a joke

She cried and cried when she heard

Why do ladies willingly stab other ladies in the back?

How could anyone be with him?

She had her baby

She returned to campus

The guys gave her a wide berth

But girls still flock around him

As if he placed a sign on her head

'Date Not'

She decided to rock the boat

She! You are mine, if i see any other girl with you on this campus, I will get all of us expelled!

He believed her

They came back together

But the magic is gone

Too many bad words

Too many bad memories

Too many bad reactions

Too much hurt

Too much pain

Too much suspicion

Too much sense

The branch has broken

The bird has flown

They graduated

Went their separate ways

He went for his masters

She started working

Her parents adopted the baby

She was an only child

The baby, a blessing

He finished his masters

Came a begging

Let us rekindle this fire

Let us start afresh

But she wanted love

She wanted the feeling she had then

Where is it?

It is gone!

He has learnt his lesson

Love is not only about feelings

Love is also about decisions

Holding on hard and fast to determined goals

But how would she convince her?

She seem fixated on yesterday

The elephant's memory syndrome

The heart of Kings belongs only to one

He prayed

She came on twitter

A lot of options open to her

Guys in her DM seeking a taste

Guys in her DM offering intense heat

She dated one, a bisexual

All she wanted was to experiment

She got the message quite fast

There are realms that questions sanity

She met another a manipulator

So sweet a tongue that never takes wrong

Every good thing his deed

Every wrong deed her fault

The quest for love has taken her far

Will she never love again?

She met a Sage and everything changed

He told her two truths she has come to prove

Love is a decision

Love is a Choice

If you decide to love a man

Open your heart and let his love lead

He says he loves you

He wants to take you on a journey

Let his love lead

Genuine love wakes its kind

In a little while your heart will pant

In a short while his gaze will awaken hidden pleasure

Give love a chance

She thought it through, gave her first love another go

'I will walk out if things dont work' she swore

But he now knows the value of her heart

He peeled off her resistance a layer at a time

Eight months later she says to the Sage

Would you believe I am pregnant again?

'What!' says the Sage

'I love him, he is my life' She says

The End
