I have always been the type of woman that desired dates and flowers. To love and be loved right. That is why I kind of find it very strange to hear people talk about love at first sight.
It could be love
Perhaps something mistaken as love
My first love Samuel was everything I have ever dreamt of in a man. He was charming and it was a young love. We got distracted and lost each other when we entered college. The distance was a major constraint and we couldn't find a way to make it work.
We didn't break up
We just stopped talking to each other after a major fight.
Then i heard he started dating a lady in the same collage as he was. There was this youngman also that was all over me. He was a wealthy businessman and spoiled me silly. He makes sure to visit my school every weekend bearing goodies and I couldn't contain my excitement. I was his Cinderella and he was my prince charming. Samuel's new relationship meant nothing to me because I was in a better place. My new boyfriend CJ was treating me so well and he was a wealthy businessman unlike Samuel who was still in college and also cheating on me too.
There came this evening that I was watching Twilight movie. There was something about that movie that touched my soul. It made me to walk outside in the open air to think. I wondered who among the two men that i have dated love me as the character Edward loved Bella.
After an hour of thinking without coming to any conclusion, i looked up toward the Moonlight and made a wish.
Let the man who love me most in the whole wide world call me now.
It was a silly wish if I must say and did not in my slightest imagination thought that it would ever be possible. I was just a young girl confused about what love was. It seemed that heaven was listening indeed because in less than two minutes after making that wish my phone started ringing. I was startled and wondered if it was just a mere coincidence. Maybe it was just my sister calling or perhaps it could be my best friend Amaka. I got up and went inside the house to get my phone. Looking at the caller it was ...
Samuel.
I was dumbfounded and kept starting at the phone while it rang. The whole thing still looked so surreal to me and when I finally pressed the answer button i heard his voice for the first time in eighteen months.
The voice of my first love.
When I asked him why he called me, he answered that he just thought about me and decided to give me a call. Then we spent the next two hours catching up on many things and honestly talking with him just flows so naturally. We can talk for hours and still have many more things to talk about.
I realised one thing that night and that was that he is the love of my life.
But love isn't enough to keep our relationship. We have lost the most crucial flavour in our relationship which made it the envy of all and that was Trust.
Two years later i walked down the aisle with another man. Samuel called me few days later and with his voice shaking he said...
They told me that another man has married my wife.
