LOVE CATHEDRAL

Our Love began at the cathedral
You didn't know this,
But you had a firm grip on my heart.
Your awkward smiles and intense stares set my heart aflame.
A thousand folly belong to a thousand fools,
Never will a boy like you fall into flowerbeds of love for a girl like me.
Mother's Sunday rice drives us all home,
Fast as squirrels,
We sometimes forget to say goodbye.
Your voice echoes above the rest,
As everything else about you.
Why does aunty Amaka need me to pluck mangoes,
When I am trying to navigate my steps with yours?
I lose track of you again.
Not knowing when next I will see your face,
The pain in my heart doubles with each beat,
Driving me into the underworld.
Maybe it's the sun making me dizzy,
But when I look back,
There you are,
Hands in pockets, still wearing that awkward smile,
You say to me;
"Orange looks good on you"
I smile.
I smile brightly.
The reflection in your eyes is mine.
