Let's take it back to high school, that's where this all starts.We would go out for funkies and the fact that I was super shy, was a recipe for alone time. I made a few friends just for good measure. So whenever the schools meet, I'd have a friendly face to talk to. Plus leaving school every once in a while had it's perks.In form three,this was the peak so to say,I finally bloomed and not in the subtle way. I started getting attention and this was the year I met my first love. It wasn't love at first sight,we were weird when we first met. I remember we happened to be in the same spot with friends at the bus stop.I went in for a handshake while he came in for a hug and we bumped into each other and just laughed about it.

We started off as friends talking here and there. The spark however ignited after highschool when we got to talking and this was through Facebook,we didn't have each others contact bug only the account handles. I'd keep on refreshing my feed every now and again just to check if there was any message (this makes feel so old by the way).In 2015 we actually got to meet up and hangout. It was on friendly grounds when we met at Fritaz for lunch and got to talking. We reminisced on the whole high school times when we were getting to know each other.

Couple of months down the line and we started dating and i joined campus. We were very many miles apart but we promised to make it work. I've never done the whole long distance relationship but my friends told me it'd never work. I was super in love with him though and fell for everything about him. His 6'1 height,the chocolate brown complexion,the fact that he was fit and the beard on his chin. I fell for his personality, his smooth talk and of course his semi full lips that you could stare at for hours. I was gone,taken for feelings I couldn't grasp nor explain. He'd say jump and I'd ask how high.

Reality called me back to life,literally. I got a call expecting to hear his sothing voice,only to be met by his 'girlfriend's'. Shocked,confused and lost for words, I almost broke down. How could he ever do this to someone he claims to love. The timing was both good and bad for I was set to go home in a few days time. I met with the Chic over coffee and we knew we had to know what's what so we set off to his place.

My excuse was that I needed closure so bad and maybe just maybe put his memories behind me. In the back of mind so many questions of how come I didn't see the signs,how could we talk every night till late and early in the mornings when he was with other girls. How could he manage to sing me to sleep whenever I couldn't sleep and lastly how did he manage to juggle between us all this while under our noses. Most importantly, was it really love, or was it just a way to get into my pants. Some of these were answered while the rest,well let's say I filled in the blanks. That day after the confrontation was my worst day,for it was the day I broke up with him.

It took me months to get over him and put the past behind me. The cring and sobbing myself to sleep,binge eating all my thoughts and feelings. I was whole but now broken,fell for his perfect act but now broken by his tact. Lost and hurt i rose from the flames like a Phoenix and now am  happy as I can be.He was a big part of my life and whenever I remember him,its always the heart emoji that pops into my mind.
