I swear to God,
I have never loved anyone in this world
the way I love you.
Not the stars, not the silence, not the scent of rain,
only you.
Your name is the ache that lingers
between my ribs and my reason.
I cannot resist you,
for though no one is perfect,
when God sculpted your being,
He must have whispered, “Let perfection walk.”
Even as I write my project,
your thought hovers above every word,
your image breathes between every line,
you are the ink that stains my heart.
And if I come to Abuja,
you shall walk beside me
to take the HIV test,
and when the result returns clean,
I swear, I will take your virus willingly,
not out of folly,
but because I long to share even your pain,
to blur the lines that separate your pulse from mine.
Call me stupid if you must,
love has always been a sweet kind of madness.
But I swear, before God and truth,
there is nothing I would not do
to be with you,
to breathe beside you,
to live with you in harmony.
