Her Realization
Exploring my talent, putting it into use in the literary world for the benefit of humanity and promotion of communication
She was in love
With a guy within
The neighborhood and they
Were having it nice
As time passes, for
Distance they couldn’t maintain
Their relationship again, it
Was not like now
That there are so
Many social media that
Could relatively bring partners
Closer than closest
After their separation, she
Thought he has been
Gone from her for
Ever and had to move on
With her life, thence
She became involved with
A man in her school
Everything seems normal
After their graduation from
The institution, they formalized
Everything with the hope
That they had known each other enough
Fate smiled on her
Quickly than the guy
She was married to
And she rose through ranks and files
In no distant time
And became one of
The directors of the
Establishment where she works
Many benefits she was
Entitled to because of
Her position. And this
Was when he started changing
He was envious of
Her instead of being
Supportive he was nay
And became an alien to her
He started talking to
Her like a servant in
The home. This issue
Degenerated until they parted
For she couldn’t withstand
What she was passing
Through with him again
The judges approved their divorce
Some months after she
Was introduced to someone
Whom her friends vouched
For, but he was wolf in sheep clothing
He entered her life
And left her battered
Than he met her
Leaving her depressed and torn out
She passed through the
Street where she has
Spent her youth and
Met with old faces
While discussing with them
She got to know about
Her first love’s whereabout
She was accompanied by a friend
To where he lives,
They were both elated
To see each other
After about 2 decades of separation
She pleaded with him
If she could take
Him out so that they
Would have nice time together
At least reliving the
Memories because it has
Been a while that
They ‘ve parted ways
He obliged her and
They went to a beautiful
Resort place to hang out
With each other to see life together as adults
They had seen life
Together when they were
Youths, but not as adults
Whom they had become
They were at their
Commonest place where they
Used to hang out at
When they were youths
They noticed the changes
In the outlets and
Remembered the fun they used
To have together those days
It was for her a
Memorable occasion. They soon
Parted way. But she was
Much relived being with him.
Started wishing that she
Be in his arms again
He has been her
First love. Ditto for him.
The tension on her
Face and other body
Parts was removed by
The transient time they spent together
It is now the time
Of the social media
And the internet, they connected
With each other on social media
They continued their acquaintance
On the social media
For they live at
Different states within the country.
Whatever problems she had
He would be the first
Person she would divulge
The information to
To ask for his counsel
On the matter. For
She has no confidant
Again. She trusts none of her friends
Before re-enacting her friendship
With him, she felt
She was alone in the world
For all she’s experienced
She was happy to
Have his shoulder to
Lean on during her
Disturbing moments now
On whatever she asks
For counsel, his counsel
Has been timely and
Wonderful that if yielded to
Have saved her embarrassments
Not once neither thrice.
A woman who has
Always been depressed before
Was no longer depressed
Again, and people could
See the array of
Joy written all over her
Like a person who has
Just won a jackpot.
People were thrilled for
Her, that she has put the past in the past
She has gotten over
Her challenges and now
Moving forward in her
Endeavors in life.
One day sat she
Down to reflect on
Her life, her past
And her present status
And she discovered that
Her life has been
Changed because of the
Old friends she has reconnected with
And most especially her
Old lover. Sometimes old
Lovers, old friends that
Knew much about you
Will do the magic
She says to none
As they have wrought
Wonders in her life
She no longer become
A shadow of herself
But her real self.
This is a mystery.
How good it is
To have someone who
Understands you by your side
Always, it would be heaven on earth
