Love

I. Ogunbase

You… are the first thing on my mind when I wake up.
Before the managers and co-workers’ requests the workflows and mock ups,
You are the first voice I want to hear.
That I need to hear…
The first touch on my skin, the first kiss on my neck.
The warmth of your hug to brace the cold outside these doors.

You are… my solace.
The peace that quiets my anxious soul.
The joy that brightens my darkest days.
The gift grows more beautiful with every passing day.

You… are precious.

You are precious to me.

You… are the sunshine that starts my day
Before the chicken crows and the bustle of the morning starts,
You are the reason I smile.
The reason I always want to be better…
The drive to want to make your dreams come true.
The need to see you living a life of smiles and laughter and…

And I wish… I could also be your solace.
The peace that calms your anxieties.
The joy that brightens your day…
The gift that you never regret.

You… are very precious.

And I love you, incredibly so.
Today, tomorrow, and always.

My Witness

I. Ogunbase

I make my vow to you,
under the sun and the skies,
the moon and the stars,
to be your forever witness.

Just like you are mine.

I say these words to you,
in front of friends and family,
well-wishers and passer-by’s,
as an affirmation of my love for you.

Just like your love for me.

You are…
the most significant person I know,
my favourite celebrity,
the smartest,
the kindest,
the loveliest person,
who looked at me and chose me
despite my faults and shortcomings,
my sins and my ills…

You looked at me.
As I looked at you.

You told me you love me
And my love for you overflowed.

You are my everything
You are my beloved.
You are my life

And I am yours.
