Broken the hearts of many before I met you,
Kissed so many lips before I found yours too,
But when I found love, my dark skin tinted,
My frame shrunk and my eyes
Kept saving images of your mobile mouth
Whenever you muttered words heavy for my ears to hold,
Impossible for my helpless me to withstand,
Crazy enough to make my mind glitch into a thousand oblivions
Created by the patient tone of your voice,
The unselfish sound of your laughter,
The selflessness in every drop of tear from your eyes
And the beauties of every wink you flicker at my helpless stare!
Esther, I no more looked for love the day I met you,
I’ve even ran out of lifelines in the game of love,
For I had to cheat a thousand hearts to win, but I lost a
Thousand hearts cos I ran out of the game steps,
Steps taught me by friends you can call love artiste…
You turned me into someone else
Each time your cleft lip struck my eyes a million times
And I bet, my eyes pled for clemency a billion times more
Cos those lips are imperfectly so perfect than the most perfect rule of a line on paper!
In the moving frames of my past life,
I could break hearts to satisfy myself, but
This time I will break my heart a thousand times more
If you returned my heart; for I will love to spend a millisecond
With you than settling for a complimentary love your kind!
