ONE HELL OF A DREAM…
If only I could travel back in time to stop myself from falling in love. I tried running away from love countless times in the past but it just wasn’t working. I thought i could find a love that is as sweet and soft as the petals of a flower, little did I know i would get hurt from it. I had tried my best to run very faraway from the clutches of love but then the farther i run the faster it keep catching up to me…
I almost escaped the clutches of love, in- fact i was almost on the verge of keeping that word called love in the treasure chest, locked with a golden key and tossing the keys into the deepest part of the oceans. I have seen and witnessed how love could either make you or break you. This fear gripped my heart each and every time i try to open up my heart to someone. I was scared of falling in love, i was scared of being left heartbroken, i was scared of being cheated on, i was scared of being played for a fool, and most importantly i was scared of falling too deep…
The deeper the love is, the greater the pain of heartbreak. I promised never to fall in love, the plan and commitment was going fine until Mobimpe came into my life. She came like a lightning bolt and shattered my love shield completely, she was as innocent as a child, she was of average height, fair, and extremely beautiful…
She was too beautiful to be real. Our first encounter was at the registration office, which happens to be on the first of June, 2017. Mobimpe was standing very close to the principals door that very day, i was in the early years of college, i was told to report to the principals office to submit some paperwork. I was the assistant health prefect of the school, while Mobimpe was a newbie going through the registration process…
It was love at first sight. I have never been a fan of love at first glance, i never believed it and have always considered it a lie to ones heart. Mobimpe shook the pillars of my heart and shattered my love shield completely, she was looking so beautiful in those mufti of hers. I was love strucked at first but i shook it off immediately because i was in the principals office…
I couldn’t report to the principal and was asked to leave the office to come back later. I was quite hesitant but then i had to leave, I literally pleaded with the Universe to send Mobimpe my way after leaving the office that moment, I prayed for her to be my classmate and also to be in my department. These were my prayers that day…
I was on my way to school the next day when i saw someone like her, i didn’t believe she was the one and just ignored it. i was supposed to report to the principal office that morning but then we had a compulsory morning class and i couldn’t find him. I came late and could only stand at the front to listen to the teacher while he explained. We had over 40 students in the science department…
The morning class lasted for two hours, the teacher gave us an assignment and left the classroom, I couldn’t write the note because i was late and could only listen to him explain. I was on my way to my seat looking all frustrated when i saw someones shadow on my seat. I was so pissed and was about screaming at the person to get up immediately. The moment i tried screaming, she raised her head up and our eyes met, i was dumbfounded for a while, before i knew it i was smiling to myself and just walked away…
This was our third encounter. I went to the principals office and came back. She approached me first and introduced herself to me, i was about shaking her and introducing myself to her when i suddenly got struck twice on my back by my Chemistry teacher…
I stood up in agony and realized everything was just a dream, there was neither mobimpe nor any introduction, everything was just a dream, and the cane brought me back to reality…
In conclusion, I smiled instead of looking pained, my friends could only wonder what was making me smile, i guess i was far too gone in my dreams…

Love is real, my friend. You don't run away from it. You receive and don't expect too much.
