Note 6
Two weeks ago, I had a conversation with one of my friends from home. We spoke of our old days back in the village. How we used to play hide and seek, ‘banyo,’swimming and football. How we used to have ambitions and vast dreams. But looking at how our lives have turned out today, we just laughed at each other. A lot has changed. Our dreams and visions have changed. I also spoke to him about my relationship with you. He is already married with two kids, so I needed some wisdom.
I told him of my plans to marry you, my love. I wanted to know more about marriage, even though I am not that guy that seeks advice in such matters, because I find it illogical. He taught me a few things I had not known. But above all he spoke of the affection. Our togetherness is to be founded on affection not infatuation. With all factors constant, common understanding and trust and forgiveness.
I desire that our togetherness be built with strong foundation of love. That our togetherness be filled with happiness and joy, even if the times are hard. We will stand together and fight together in times of war. We will hold each other in times of weakness. We will defend each other in times of opposition. We will be us. Strong together. What more is there, if we can’t be together all the time?
This is all I desire. This is all I need. I need you.
