Then till Forever

At one, two, three, four, five, I knew one and only one thing

That my family loves me dearly

At six and seven I knew my siblings came because of love

At eight a friend claimed to be the best

At nine I realize love ones are not supposed to hurt you

At ten, I hated the word love and everything about it

At eleven the pain starts to heal and I forgot about it

At twelve I got my longest butterflies’ every time I see him

At thirteen these feelings still don’t change

At fourteen I thought I was lacking since every girl had lovers

At fifteen I literally found mine, except it was in my head

At sixteen I realized I just lied to myself

At seventeen I sat back and watch everything from afar

At eighteen he stole my heart and disvirgin my lips

At nineteen he realize I’m not the type of girl he thought

At twenty I may have been marketing myself wrong

At twenty one he told me I should stop acting as a child

Once again I gave him my heart only for it to be broken 

At Twenty-two I found the greatest friend and love

This time my heart was too stubborn to give itself away

And so it lied continuously until he left.

At twenty-three I realize the love from eight, nine and ten still hunt me daily

At twenty-four I fight to let it all go

At twenty-five I place my heart in God’s hands again

For Him to do with it as He wishes cause I alone have failed in the past


I chose to maximize my singlehood to the glory of His name again


At twenty-six He makes me the happiest woman on earth


From twenty-six to forever it is God,  him, children and I
