Make a wish!
Every once in a while we all fall victim to a very terrible crime - Neglect. Lets face it, we've ALL done it. That doesn't make it right though. It just makes it even MORE wrong.I'm sorry chica! I'm so used to having you around that sometimes I neglect to tell you just.. Wait! before that.
Happy Birthday darling! Make a wish! :)
Now, as I was saying.. I love you. But that is just, well, obvious.
What you don't know is that I rely on you so much more than you know. I take strength from you. Through all the bitching and drama, every step of the way I'm confident because I know I've got you. Supporting and non-judgmental, but also ready to kick my ass if need be. -Ouch!-
Sometimes I just sit back and reminisce. There's never a starting point and definitely not an end. So much history.. So many memories.. Good, bad and in-betweens.
The bad..
The loss of beautiful ones.. Moha, Waziri, Baba L.. May their beautiful souls rest in peace. The drama. Testosterone. X-ing. ViDi. IT 1. IT 2.
The Good..
Dancing in the middle of the courtyard at 2am (our neighbors thought we were drunk as hell). Movie nights Ala le ke. Southampton. Snow fights. CHERRIES! The birth of Louis Cookie. Bradford. Sleep-overs. New years. Missing flights. Late nights. Cooking disasters (Jollof spaghetti.. LMAO). Monopoly with The Vuittons and The Barristas. 24. Marble Arch. Wonderland. Skin contact. Emirates Stadium. Therapeutic ice cream and shopping. 805. Milkshakes and Tai won mein. Riverside and boat rides. Paris. Venice!! And that's just the first line in our novel.
Even here the good outweighs the bad. No scales needed. But you know my favorite? First full moon in March. Nothing can beat that!!
On the 5th of March 2004, I not only made a friend, I made the BEST one. A sister. An ear. A shoulder. A hand. An evil twin. (Who does that remind you of? Don't scream!) Short devils. Small AND mighty!
... Seven years later, I'm still thankful.
I might want to turn you over and just keep spanking (you know why) but you always come through at the end of the day. We talk without words. Sing way off key. View life in 3D. Fight over mega-cute guys. We are so alike yet so different. Same song, different beat. I know we're imperfect, but we do it perfectly! Yin & Yang - ideally balanced. And since we're still the BEST, we must be doing something right.
This may all seem cliched but I never did care for propriety or what anyone thought. This is yours, Lola.
Past, present and future babay! (With my Lord's will of course) Hahaha! Now, I can say, I love you! Make a wish! ;)
P.s
Bring my fish to Braddie!
