I love him. I can’t help it. He doesn’t want me but I crave him like he is my daily bread. I have crossed oceans, well not literally but, I have gone the extra miles. I have been a great companion, brought my “best” to the table. He still didn’t want me. He didn't want me like I wanted him. He didn't want me like I wanted him to.

She was uniquely formed and with each passing day I saw her in a different light…… Oh Doyin where are your manners? At least introduce yourself to your readers before getting lost in the sauce of memory lane. My bad guys, I am ADEDOYIN STEVEN BANKOLE and as at the time of this finding I was in the final year in the University of Lagos studying Software Engineering and life was fully ahead of me but as I write this down for your reading pleasure, I do so from my honeymoon suite in Dubai with the love of my life sleeping on my chest, so we could say the wedding has prompted this stroll down memory lane.
