Let there be light


‎'When God said, let there be light, in the life of a boy who will remain unnamed, He meant let there be you, Kiah...'

The above is a direct quote. Every time i talk to the man who said the above, a certain kind of peace rests upon me. I forget my worries and i just live. At least for that day. There are few people who have this effect on me. Infact, let me not deceive myself, it is just him and God.

I haven't seen him in years and yet it feels just like yesterday we were kids, learning new things and in such a huge hurry to leave home. We both got our wish but you know what they say about being careful what you wish for. We talk every other day but it is not the same.

I used to day dream about seeing him again one day and telling him all the things i should have said. Stuff like 'Thank you' and how i admired his serenity and how he had the best smile in the world. I don't dream about it anymore. I don't think it will ever happen. I missed out on all my chances: first, second and thousandth chances. Mo ti gba kamu!!!

I do this all the time. I take people for granted till they are no longer accessible and then i start with the 'shoulda, woulda, coulda'.

So my October resolution ( and yes i can have a resolution three months before the New Year. If e pain you, Lagos Lagoon beckons) is to hold on to people a little bit longer, kiss them a little bit deeper, love them a little harder...

Its 11pm. I have an exam tomorrow...i should be reading but here i am keeping my resolution and sending out my kisses in search of the man to whom i was once light and everything bright...

  1. That is why sometimes when we are with people we should act like this is the only chance we have; to be with them. All the best.

  2. Sincerely, I dread people who take others for granted! I just feel its not good. Several people I would have perhaps been able to touch their lives, we eventually didn't get along because of that trait.

    "I do this all the time. I take people for granted till they are no longer accessible and then i start with the 'shoulda, woulda, coulda'."

    Thank God you came to that realization. The problem is therefore, half-solved. Its now left to devise a plan into making sure your decision to hold on to people a little longer comes through.

    Best of God with your exams tomorrow :)
