I WISH!

Now I lay here wondering how she would have felt, what her laughter would have been like , what her smile would have looked like or even how her touch would have made the difference.. well I guess now I'd never know.  I'd never experience her love, her anger , her tears or even her jokes because I was foolish enough to let her go. What would have been a forever love story can no longer be told to the world because we would never be. Oh my dearest I wish I had fought harder for you to stay, I wish I hadn't seen you as a burden but rather an exhilarating joy. If I could turn back the hands of time I would definitely do better, I would show you how much you make my world go round but sadly I will never get that chance because this is not a probability equation. I wish I had never listened to Tina, I wish I had never walked into that clinic, I wish I had looked into the nurses eye a little longer and be convinced not to do it or when she said it was too risky cos I was too ...

He noticed the light bounce in her steps, he saw that she smiled more and that she looked quite beautiful doing it. There was something about her he could not figure out, something new and different. It had been two weeks and Teni had not for one day nagged, complained or even tried to argue with him over anything.

 She could barely concentrate, everything she tried to do got her thinking about her phone  conversation with Chike earlier today. Oh! How she had missed him! The way his voice rippled with so much love, when he called her Teni. She nearly burnt Tola's toast today, because she was lost in her thoughts on Chike . He wanted to meet, but she knew Kunle would never let it.   Funny how he jumped from one open leg to another, without a thought for how she felt ,but would almost burn into ashes with fury if another man as much as smiled at her. So she wouldn't tell him then, after all it wasn't like she was cheating or anything, Chike was an old friend whom she no longer had feelings for or so she told herself , just to allow her sleep better at night cos deep down she knew she'd always love him.   Teniola! She cautioned herself, "get ahold of your emotions, he could be married for God sakes" . Even though she rebuked herself and tried to take her mind of him,...
