The Better Mirror (short Piece) by OluwabuqqyYOLO(m): 9:40pm On Jan 07, 2017
There's this woman I see around Allen's street. I'm in love with her. She has this small stature, as a
lithe queen of the Arabian gulfs. Her skin is rosy in
color, almost like saffron water. I can't bear to see
an ant walk her skin, or the waters cascade
down her body. I envy the clothes she put on at
night - that light one that gives her the joy to sleep;
that pinafore that declares her firm breasts and
lovely buttocks. She's a woman after my heart.

My
feelings for her -I know because I've tried-pollinate flowers. This woman catches my eye better than the mirror. I don't want to tell her
though. I'm genuinely scared of letting her know
how I feel. She has no lover, I fear she's been broken a lot of times. I won't ever treat her badly,
for she's the diamond that beautifies my quiet
world. The way I feel about her is weird but strangely soothing. When I tell her, I hope she smiles and let me chew her lips and handle her curves.

But a fear tugs at the back of my mind. I shy away from the truth, from her. I fear to commit myself to her. I fear that my love for her might consume her
slowly, like a fire with an emerald glow. But that's greatly beside the point. Seriously, I
don't think I can sit there with her and have a
commitment, not because I don't wish to. I wish to but I hope
you know that the world revolves and, as so, we are
unconsciously spinned with it. I fear that my feelings
for her might change.

Hi, dear baby Leesah! For some days now, I've been without a phone and I can't have access to my mails. I'm sorry.

How's the princess doing? I hope she's been good!
