A random swipe on Bumble, a wave on WhatsApp, and then we
talked till 5am. I couldn't sleep. You said you weren't
surprised. Somehow, our driest chat on that app turned into one
valuable conversation.

Our First Walk
few photos, lots of memories
Zenith Bank, 3rd Avenue, Gwarinpa. You showed up looking like
you were headed somewhere important,I showed up looking like I
was headed to the gym. We didn't take a single picture, but I
remember every second. Sweaty palms, a hug I'd been planning all
week, and a walk I never wanted to end.

Can't Stop Thinking About You
Ohh lighten up, Sarah
The next morning I woke up at 1am and couldn't go back to
sleep. You texted 'PS: maybe I have been thinking about you
too.' I was definitely blushing. That's when I knew,this wasn't
just talking anymore.

Not Casual
The local market run :)
You told me you got casual vibes. That you had doubts. So I
laid it bare: 'I don't want casual with you. I want to be in a
romantic relationship with you.' You said it was nice to know it
wasn't one-sided. And just like that,we were us.

You Said You Loved Me
dayumm
I'd been saying it for weeks. You'd smile, dodge it, change the
subject. Then one night,watching Lord of the Rings, half
asleep,I said 'I love you.' And you said it back. I woke up at
6am and typed: 'She finally said it! Dayumm.'
A Letter for You
So today, and every day after... Will you be my Valentine?
Thank you, Yamato
Happy Valentine's Day, my love. Here's to us, today, tomorrow,
and always.
