When You are Away - Day 9

I miss you most today.

I don’t even understand

How can I feel this much

for one person.


This distance,

This silence

It feels heavier tonight.

I miss you so much it aches.


I’m in the kitchen,

fixing dinner,

trying to hold steady,

trying not to lose myself in the longing.


So I press play on Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee,

Despacito feat Justin Bieber 

The rhythm sways me

side to side,

as if your body were here,

moving with mine.


And then I remember 

You are always so present 

You ask all the right questions

You get my jokes

You care for me

You enjoy teasing me 

You create time for me

You look for me 

You remember everything 

You are easy to talk to

You remind me of what it feels like to love 

And be loved

But most of all,

I love the way you look at me

Almost like I'm the forbidden fruit 


Not sure how it all started, here is the story of how it all began.

Just to see You

This morning was chaos in the most ridiculous, beautiful way.

This is for you - Part 2

She’s weak in the knees She pauses 

Tired, stretched, challenged… but still here

The quote is in Yoruba-English.   Ayo: When people talk about resilience, they imagine it as this superhuman ability to never get tired, to keep going without breaking a sweat.
