I remember meeting her, at the university Law Library. I had noticed her during lectures and instantly I felt a connection. I approached her and said "go home and get dressed", because we were going out for a candle light dinner. She looked at me, smiled and told me to pick her up at nine '0' clock. Pick her up I did and we proceeded to my favorite Italian restaurant. The conversation flowed effortlessly as we sipped on red wine, in those special moments nothing else mattered and no one existed except the both of us. So beautiful was she that the waitresses called the chef to our table to look at her, so taken aback was he that he serenaded her and congratulated me on having such good taste. We shared our dessert (a bowl of profiteroles) and proceeded to a casino to play roulette for the rest of the night.
It was a beautiful date and a wonderful begining to what proved to be what a telling romance. What went wrong? Why did it not work out? So many questions left unanswered by the way things ended. Was it a clash of egos? Was it a tragic case of bad timing? Does she remember me fondly? Did she realise the extent to which I grew to care? I have accepted that we were never meant to be, and i am gratefull for the experience of a true heartfelt romance. I know i would have loved you, and from what your people told me you cared too, but you were too scarred by your last experience to fall headlong into another relationship. I guess my track record wasn't exactly encouraging either, here is to you where ever you are, it has been five years since and I have nothing but fond memories of you.
I remember us going to see THE BOOR by Anton Chekov and how you laughed and hit me when Mrs. Popov uttered the famous words: "I said you were a boor, a monster!" I will never forget your smile and the smooth contours of your neck when you threw your head back in fits of laughter. You made me happy, and I thank you for the experience.
P.S: I am not quite as boorish as i once was ;-)

Oh my gosh, I love your blog. You write well and I could almost see everything in my head. Keep writing dude!
Thanks babe!!!! :-)
Hmm, ok now! Probably it was a love that never was, but reading that with such a good composition makes me want to marvel in the fiction.
Very well composed indeed, sir!!
@naijadude, thanks for appreciating my post, it is indeed a true story, she was such an amazing young woman, when i was with her she played a bid role in toning down my self destructive urges. I guess the main reason why i still think about her is that it ended very suddenly and i never got to find out what could have been.............
Thanks again.
Hmm... that you still remember this 5-year-ago-romance so vividly (especially as there have probably been a number of relationships since then) might be something you want to think about. Just a thought. Nice writing, like babe said I could picture what you were describing.
@daddy's girl, it truly was something special, (at least on my part). I still wonder what would happen if we were to meet again....
Awww, this is very sweet ... it sounds like and amazing date and it's kinda sad that it never really happened but I guess it was for a reason.
And I guess I have my answer on how you came up with your name!
@vickii, it was an amazing date, i was looking at her picture just yesterday.....
Unfinished business i guess...
gosh, I'm in love with love even more so now.
Very nicely written.
