Wait a minute, I think I forgot to say something in the last letter.
Somethings don't work, but Ife mi, me and you are meant to be.
I want you to know my heart's intention, I hate having feelings bottled up.
It's like staring at the sun from Venus, I know I'm not the best guy in your life yet, but I promise I'll get better.
Calm down, clear your mind, it's a mutual thing.
I want you to be mine, and yes, I know you want me, but I see a love that transcends beyond individualism, and that's what brought about We.
I guess I love a bit too intense, but I guess that's the way I'm wired.
Love to me is like a narcotic, and when I indulge, I don't know when to stop.
A deeply and joyous feeling, but still as somber as the lighting of an incense.
I understand that you might have had a rough past.
But when you're with me, let your past be your pain.
I get the fact that both of us have had rough times, with insecurities, emotional voids, and trauma with previous love interests.
I can't actually wait to meet you and make you unwind and smile. Trust me, we'll have a blast!
With the other guys, you could feel bad and sad, but with me, forget all your losses, cause like a trust fund investment, compared to them, I am your true gain.
Love me tender, love me sweet, like the lost sheep in the Bible that went astray and wandered.
I hope we do all our best with all our might to get it right.
Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes, your skin colour is like that of a graceful maiden, you're as elegant as an African gazelle.
Other girls made me sad, due to some, till today I still cry and weep.
I lost sleep and weight, but I still acted nonchalant and unbothered.
When I was at my lowest and was losing my vision, God met you and restored my sight.
You fill my heart with joyful melodies, anytime I think of you, sounds of the violin, harp, and timbrel.
It's only me and you, both of us trying to build a paradise from this abyss.
Looking into your dove-like eyes, I'm starstruck.
My love in the clefts of the rock, show me your face, hold my hands so tightly, so these other guys can know full well that I'm on your case.
Anytime we argue, I love your maturity and ability to set things right, get both parties to apologize, tears of joy stream down my eyes when I remember this—the emotional purging, oh the catharsis.
Before I met you, I swore to never love again, tightened my feelings like chains on a slave, hardened my heart like a rock.
No matter how fast, slow, or whatever thing you choose, I'll match your pace.
You're the only one I want, you're the only one I need.
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon, your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn.
I can't wait to take you to the altar, know you more as a wife and friend, and watch you carry my seed.....
and bear us offspring, but till then let's go slow. I want us to grow together, you're a jewel to me, ayanfe, on my body you adorn.
I love your aesthetic, the way you always rush to me when you find out I'm down, weak, or sick.
You're my painkiller, my pain suppressant, my anesthetic, my personal paramedic.
I like your confidence and your abilities, your low rim glasses, and your natural outlook. You're not like other girls that apply heavy makeup and overuse lipstick.
I trust my instinct, and I want us to settle and live happily ever after in our fairytale.
I love you, cute Akanmi, lean with it, rock with it. On your finger, I'm putting my whole life in it.
Accept my ring and be mine, because already I'm yours to keep.
