Signs

he bought a ring
said it was for his friend
he gave it her

"you'll make some guy happy." he said
that was a tip right there
she refused to take it

so many years back there were signs
she turned a blind eye
willing them untrue

she was a fool

Todays State Of Mind: Desire

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
there I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me




John Mayer -"Edge Of Desire"

Young and full of running
tell me where is that taking me?
just a great figure eight
or a tiny infinity?

Love is really nothing
but a dream that keeps waking me
For all of my trying
we still end up dying,
how can it be?

Don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me.
'cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
there I just said it
I'm scared you'll forget about me

So young and full of running
all the way to the edge of desire.
Steady my breathing,
silently screaming,
I have to have you now

Wired and I'm tired,
think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor.
Or maybe this mattress will spin on its axis
and find me on yours

Don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me.
Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see.

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe.
There I just said it,
I'm scared you'll forget about me

Don't say a word
just come over and lie here with me.
Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see.

I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it,
I'm scared you'll forget about me

Is there really "just" friendship
between a man and a woman?
I wonder. :/

Hold Myself

I know if I kiss you, you wouldn't resist.
So I restrain.
It is torture every time I see you.

Song 8: Mirrors

I've had this song on repeat for 2 days straight and it doesn't seem like I'm going to tire of it any time soon.

Justin Timberlakes' music to me is just like fine wine that tastes better with time and age. His song "Mirrors" is such a beautiful and emotional song that tells of a man trying to hold unto his relationship with the woman he knows is the love of his life. It is about a love between two people and how they complement each other.

I read the song was inspired by his wife Jessica Biel and the love between his grand parents who were married for over 60 years...WOWzah...So sweeeeet and such an inspiration!!






They do look very good together and very happy and I absolutely adore her wedding dress {**inspiration**}. Since this post is not about them but about the song "Mirrors", find the lyrics and enjoy the music below. :)

Be Happy!!!!

Justin Timberlake - Mirrors

Aren't you somethin' to admire?
Cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice
You reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and
The glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always
Parallel on the other side

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Aren't you somethin', an original
Cause it doesn't seem merely a sample
And I can't help but stare, cause
I see truth somewhere in your eyes
I can't ever change without you
You reflect me, I love that about you
And if I could, I
Would look at us all the time

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass
I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

Yesterday is history
Tomorrow's a mystery
I can see you lookin' back at me
Keep your eyes on me
Baby, keep your eyes on me

'Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now (please show me, baby)
I'll tell you, baby, it was easy
Comin' back here to you once I figured it out
You were right here all along

It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making
Two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me

You are, you are the love of my life [x10]

Now you're the inspiration for this precious song
And I just wanna see your face light up since you put me on
So now I say goodbye to the old me, so better gone
And I can't wait wait wait wait wait to get you home
Just to let you know, you are

You are, you are the love of my life [x8]

Girl you're my reflection, all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do
You're my reflection and all I see is you
My reflection, in everything I do


You are, you are the love of my life [x16]

* * * New Years Eve * * * 1

"This is going to be a weird night." I thought to myself as I looked around me. Children of ages ranging 12-16 were standing and chattering about, wearing next to nothing on a very cold monday night. Temperature was as low as 4 degrees and most of the girls had only bikini tops and bottoms on, the boys, shorts and tanks. I was fully clothed with a jacket on and my becky was still freezing. I shook my head and walked into the building.

"Julie, there you are." My friend Rebecca called out as she walked towards me with arms open for a hug. I plastered a huge smile on my face and hugged her while scanning the room with my enthusiasm dropping further, "this is definitely not good." I thought to myself. Rebecca and I have been friends since college and this whole shindig was her idea for spending new year’s eve. She had called a week back informing me that we were going to be traveling out of state to this great new year’s eve party with Jeff, her boyfriend and some of their friends, and had assured me that there would be loads of Michael Ealy's around. That was the convincing point for me.



As a single 27 year old, my parents were already stylishly asking  the dreadful question. They'd say things like "We are so proud of  you and your accomplishments. Your degree, your job and how well you've settled yourself" and at this point, I already knew what was to follow.."All that is left is a good husband that deserves you and would love you. We've asked God to send that man, FAST!" My response is always the same.."Amen oooo, na God hand e dey!"..{shaking my head}. So yes, I jumped at the opportunity of making myself available to the Ealy's of this world on the off chance that I get found.

But there I was, feeling like a chaperone at a prom party with the theme 'Be naked'. I pulled out of Becca's hug, held her at arm’s length and looked her over. "Giiirrrl, you look amazing" I said and grinned at her. Becca is beautiful and she definitely knows how to wear her clothes. "So do you love." she responded and hugged me again. "Come, let me introduce you to everyone." she said as she dragged me towards the group I then noticed at the corner of the waiting room.

That was when I saw him.

Song 7: Come Away With Me

This is one of those music that just makes me love love.

As we've come into a new year, one word resounds in my mind, heart, spirit, being.

LOVE!!


It is one of those songs that I can lie down on a rainy day and listen to while snuggling under my comforter, picturing me and my would be lover in each scene as described.

Standing together on a mountain top,looking in each others eyes {even though i dont know how that'd be possible as i'm dooper scared of heights but oh well} and sharing a sweet kiss.

Kai, love sweet shaaaaaa...

Anyway Enjoy!!!!

Norah Jones - Come Away with me

Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song

Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies

And I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come?

Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you

And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me

Men and their wahala!!!

As I type this post, a friend of mine has given her boyfriend till midnight to contact her otherwise she’ll consider their relationship done. Now, why do I say men and their wahala? Apparently, the guy has left her no choice than to take drastic actions by giving this ultimatum.

So the gist be say, this girl, who I go call ‘Love Jones’ and this boy, who I go call ‘Loner Chap’ {the names sound weird to me too but hey, na my story not yours so keep reading if you like} have known each other for a very long time but started dating last year. Love Jones was hopelessly in love with Loner Chap and she wasn’t afraid of letting him know how much {na she first talk I love you sef, then the boy come take cue}. Loner also loved Love and she believed him when he said so even though sometimes, according to her, his actions gave her cause for concern {me sef I wonder about the contradiction}.

Anyway, these two chappies are in love (make I never say ‘were’ as time never reach for verdict) and they always talked about their life together, the number of kids they’ll have, how many rooms they’ll have in their first house …you know that kind of gist na. Everything was perfect, no sense of impending doom until one gloomy Saturday evening o.

Loner had texted her to say he was getting in some weird mood cos of some issues he was having {by the way, these two people live states apart}. She, as a caring girlfriend, tried to encourage and support him through whatever decisions he decided to make and of course promised to be there for him, no matter what. The babe come de send messages o, the guy no de respond. She come de call bobo, e no gree answer..haba….all through that night till the next afternoon, no response to all her attempts at reaching him o..she vex send am email {apparently, the guy de do like that sometimes but always responded no later than the next day}. Email wey she send, bobo no gree reply o. by midnight on Sunday, babe don dey frantic with fear and worry. She de call Loner, e no de gree ansa phone.

Next day, she called his office and asked to speak with him, Loner answered and promised to call her back later that evening so they’ll talk but never did. This pissed her off real bad, so she decided to ignore him. One week down, no communication between Love and Loner. She started to worry again because it was unusual for him to stay away that long. She called his cells, sent text msgs, email, no response. She became frantic again and then called his office. When she heard his voice and knew he was alright, she hung up without saying much to him {probably silly on her part..told her as much}. Another week, two weeks passed, no word from Loner o, then she calls his office again. This time she asked that they talk and like before he said of course but that he’ll call her back as he had stuff he was working on. Your guess is very correct, Loner never called. Na im the chic send the bobo email (4 weeks since all this started and no word from Loner), baring her soul in it and then ended it with the ultimatum.

Please make una help me access this situation o. Is this decision she took the right one? What would be the best action to take if you were in her shoes? Me I think, she’s on the right track because I see how this whole fiasco has affected her and it is definitely not healthy.

I know you’ll be thinking this is a case of maybe the guy is seeing someone else, but she’s almost convinced he isn’t and this is also not a case of maybe she did something to warrant such behavior. Love and Loner are crazy in love with each other even as at the last conversation that gloomy day {well according to her o, so let us assume everything she’s told me is the truth}.

So me I just de think, men get too many issues jare…you no show them love, them go say u de too cold or too de form hard babe…you show them love, them go say you de too emotional or behave like this one now…
Which ones sef ehn?!...wetin una get to say for this matter?!

Where is the love?


Where is the love? The bible defines love as patient, kind, not envious, not proud, amongst others (1 cor 13:1-8). How many relationships apply this definition in reality? Today, most relationships use love as a justification for sex instead of the words lust or infatuation. How easy it is to say ‘I love you’ when in fact it should be ‘I lust for you’.
One day I was being driven back from the mall by Jide, my boyfriend at the time and there was this talk on the radio about relationships and we kind of got into an argument about it and about love. The next thing I knew, he said, “I love you”. I looked at him as if to ask where that came from and he just looked back at me. Still perplexed as we’ve only been dating two weeks, I replied with a ‘thank you.’ I could have easily said ‘I love you too’ but I didn’t as I knew that would have been a lie, although I liked and cared about him. He made an issue of my not saying I love you back and refused to talk to me till the next day. Two months later, the relationship was over without any notice. We just parted ways. Thank God I still had my pride and honor intact. So what happened to this love he had for me?
How do you know you are really in love? “It is when you can’t sleep at night because of thoughts of him, you wake up after about 2 hours of sleep with thoughts of him, you wonder if he’s ok every time, you want to do everything to make him happy” my best friend Claudia told me, at this time, she was infatuated with a co-worker and although he had a girlfriend who was out of the country, he claimed he loved her. Where is he now? He’s married to his girlfriend and they have a daughter together. So what happened to this earth shattering love he had for her? “Girlie, when you fall in love ehn, you go just de kolo for the guy. Its only natural” says Kole a guy friend of mine. “Well no problem as long as the guy de kolomental for me. If it is going to be one sided and on my part, I refuse to fall in love, unless he is the one doing the loving. After all it was said in the bible that a man should love his partner as he loves himself and she should submit to him” I replied. Kole laughed “you are just being pigheaded and stiff. Let go”. Let go? And have my tender heart trampled on, no way. There is no rule in any relationship handbook that says a girl shouldn’t guard her heart and be cautious of men.
Someone once told me to make sure not to fall in love but rather walk in love because when you fall, it might take a while for you to be picked up that is if you get picked as you may be too traumatized to ask for a helping hand. But when you walk in love, and you see a bad path ahead, you can easily turn and take the next path. As the poet, Archibald Macleish once said “love, like light, grows dearer towards the dark.” He calls it the “late, last wisdom of the afternoon.” It is the kind of love that grows dearer as we age, survives all disappointments, misunderstandings, quarrels.
I may sound like I’ve been through a lot of heartaches and from being in love but the reverse is the case. I’ve never experienced what is it to be ‘in love’ with a man but I’m waiting expectantly to experience that “ late, last wisdom of the afternoon”, the self denying love that’s deeply rooted in God, a life long commitment that never gives up or fails.
