Lover’s Diary 2

Then the mouths of the people have been sealed

Those who have felt I am the light-hearted person

Who definitely could not maintain a woman started saying another thing

When they see that the relationship keeps growing




The relationship is and has been growing like the

Seed planted by the riverbanks

That germinated to time and keeps growing


The seed keeps growing because the needful things

For its development it keeps receiving daily,

It never lacks good nutrients for its daily maturation and growth


This development has been wonderful,

What I have been looking for in a lady I found in you,

What I have been telling ladies that I have had

Interactions with were shared with you

And you accepted it saying “ours is a round peg in a round hole”


For all I have asked for was not strange to you,

All I have demanded you also have had it in mind before

And have been looking forward to being attracted

To a man who has the same mind like you are


Having the same mind as lovers

Has helped in no mean measures this love,

Our love


It is because those who I earlier on have

Interacted with do not have the same mind

Like that of mine that we do not last long


We only lasted days, some weeks while some

Few months,

But none exceeded months,

Therefore people who have been saying

I am the unserious type could say that

They have the mind to say that because

They do not pass through what I passed through

To get a damsel


To scorn have they laughed me when I talked about you

They have derided me when they heard of your ages

As if age is love,

As if age is happiness,

As if age is joy,

As if age is contentment,

As if age will give me what I desire in a lady



They have said I am all out to waste my precious time

The time that you do not have,

You will again waste on a lass who is not certain of her future


The time that is no longer on your side

You will again waste on a damsel who may decide to leave you tomorrow

The time that you do not have you have decided to waste

On a lady who does not know what love is all about

They have said


All this and more they have been saying

To discourage me and stop me from continuing with you

But I have told them,

It is better I waste my time on an understanding damsel

Than trying to impress someone who will not understand me


It is good I waste my time on a lady who is ready to give it all it takes

Than trying to lord myself over a lady who is playing hocus-pocus with me


It is nice I waste my time on a growing damsel

Who listens to me than trying to sell myself to

A lass who has formed her opinion about how relationship ought to look like

And when such things she has programmed her mind

To find in a love she couldn’t readily find

In our relationship

She will bolt off and leave me to my initial position


And sometimes she will leave me battered

Than sharpened,

Many a time they have left me tattered

Than leaving me formed
