The Coffee We Never Had

It was supposed to be simple, just coffee.

A meeting that never happened. A silence that said more than words ever could.

What began as a small gesture spiralled into something much larger: longing, pride, distance, and the quiet dance between two people who wanted to say everything but couldn’t.

She was ready that day, prepared, patient, hopeful. But instead of connection, she was met with silence. And when silence became her answer, she turned it into art not by lashing out, but by reclaiming her power in the most elegant way she knew how: through stillness, presence, and timing.

This is not a story of revenge.

It’s a story of restraint. Of what happens when hurt meets dignity, and when love meets its own reflection.

An Introduction to the Four-Part Series

The Coffee We Never Had is told in four parts, not in chronological order, but in emotional order. Each piece unravels a different layer of what it means to be seen, missed, and finally understood.

Part I – The Wait

Before we go back to how it all began, we start here in the silence that followed. Where longing turns into strength, and distance becomes its own kind of dialogue.

Part II – Ghosted Over Coffee

The story behind the silence. The day everything was supposed to begin and didn’t.

Part III – The Look That Changed Everything

When words still wouldn’t come, a glance did what a message couldn’t. One moment, one look, one spark that shifted everything.

Part IV – Peace Restored

After all the almosts and maybes, comes stillness. The quiet understanding that closure isn’t always about walking away, sometimes it’s about returning with grace.

We begin not at the beginning, but somewhere softer. Somewhere between forgiveness and memory.

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.
