LETTER TO MY SPOUSE

We crossed paths

And our love story began

I was your fragrance

You were my air;

A blend of excellence,

The talk of compliments

Like the love of fishes for water

We can't do without each other,

Our love was our habitat, to survive

And thrive

Everyday was like honeymoon

And It was like there's no tommorow,

But If I say I'm still happy in this union

Then I'm telling a big fat lie;

For a truth concealed

Hurts more than a truth unleashed

Painfully,

The things I didn't see in our courtship,

Now plays before my very eyes...

And I watch, as circumstances opens

The pages of unseen behaviors

To everyone, my marriage is fantastic!

And they wish they're in my shoes,

But I hide the truth with a smile

And behind my eyes is a waterfall

Sometimes I wonder,

If you're the darling I married, or a clone

Cos it's difficult to believe

And it's obvious I've lost

The one I fell in love with

The knot has been tied,

And the covenant has been made...

We got our admission and same day

We're given a certificate,

When yet, we've written no exams

We're both in this school, called marriage

And sadly, you're learning,

Yet unchanging and still failing

I'm human, and I'm hurt

But my greatest hurt

Is your unwillingness to change,

Rid me of this pain

And so I can be happy again

The best marriage I've ever known

And we ever know

Is one,

Where couples learn from each other

And effect a change;

A marriage were couples emerge,

A better version of themselves...
