KEEP IN TOUCH

Probably, If I had gotten there on time, maybe my heartthrob might have escaped the venomous bite of death...

Her call kept buzzing on my phone but my unverified assumption cost me her precious life...

I stood helplessly like a bird who had lost its wings on the verge of escaping the deadly bullet of a notorious hunter

Now my world is gone like a gun empty of bullets; it's nothing but a toy

My left hand on the green touch on my phone might have been her saving grace

My name is Philip, a 400 level student studying Mechanical Engineering and the name of my baby was Michelle

It all started as a joke and as time goes on, life becomes a choke one, each time she is not with me and vice versa

Eventually, she turned to my oxygen bag & without her around me, I can't but breathe improperly

As times passes by, our love story becomes an envious analogy for every student aspiring to build an intriguing relationship

To a certain extent, a poet or storyteller who failed to model his or her poem around the contextual structure of our story will be considered, a man who craves to drive a car empty of fuel

We became the talk of the town

It was amazing, how you knocked me off my feet and nobody has never made me feel this way

Michelle, I really wanna be your superman and as always, you are my superwoman

You are my living map and without you, my journey to stardom is practically a frustrated one

Your kiss has never failed to leave me breathless— that was my last romantic speech on her last bday

The Genesis of my assumption

It was time to go; I mean, it was semester break, always a special time for students. Time to behold the faces of our loved ones again— dad, mom, friends, and others

This period always releases an infectious smile to our faces, contagious laughter to our mouth, and dances to our feet

Time to go yummy and get randy with our loved ones and it's not funny

I called Michelle, to ask when she would be traveling home for Xmas fantasies; she said, she will call me back that she is busy at the moment

I waited uninterruptedly for 3 hours and still no call, it got to a point, I was so livid & resulted to chilling with some of my friends, with one aim, to waive off my anger

While I was catching Cruz on the air, her call came buzzing on my phone but this time my virility got the whole of me

My costly assumption was fully sponsored by the witches and wizards in our village

While I was there sipping wine, straight down to my throat, the memory of the unverified story detailed by her friend, Juliana, didn't fail to creep in, into my mind

She said that “my Michelle” is secretly dating a guy called Jack, her coursemate

She jokingly said she is the one jacking your Michelle

That statement aroused my anger the more and made me go shitty— guess what I did, I spontaneously switched off my phone and went home...

If I knew, my black ink of yesterday was miming to stain my today's fabrics

Only If I knew, my unverified assumption was secretly hiring, Tears and irreparable regret for me, only If I knew

On the following morning...

There I heard a knock on my door; that knock snapped me out of my dreamland...

Who is there? I managed to ask and she replied, it's me, Michelle,

I quickly fly to the door, like I was pulling one of the fast and furious stunts and I opened it, (still wrapped in my boxer). Baby, I've been sick-worried about you— I muttered, and her reply, me too

I have been to hell, trying to find you — we laughed, kissed, and chuckled...

I carefully dropped her on my bed and said what can I offer you? She said all I need is you*

While trying to wrap me around her, I suddenly fell unusual pop of goosebumps— I asked Michelle what is wrong?

She was about to provide answers to my question, another knock came on my door & this time, it was Richard!

I quickly counted some steps to the door, there I found Richard crying profusely...

I managed to ask, what is the matter? He said Michelle had been raped and matcheted by Dragon Sword; “the most deadly cultism on campus”

I turned my confusing body to verify the authenticity of the report made by Richie and by the time I got to my room, Lo and behold, Michelle was nowhere to be found

My gorgeous Michelle became a tweeny-weeny figure...

Maybe, just maybe, If I had picked her call, probably I might have saved her from the venomous bite of the dragons...

Tears flooded my eyes like an ocean and left me to combat for peace under the arms of stark regret

You never knew, what is going on in people's life — try not to give up on people you love...

...Assumptions...

✔️Don't assume people are fine, because they post fine pictures on their statuses

✔️Don't assume people detest you, because you never can tell, what they are going through

✔️Don't assume and act on what you heard, until it is personally verified— whatever you hear, is subjected to scrutiny

✔️Don't allow your emotion to hire you as a beast and truncate many years of healthy and sprouting relationship

✔️Reconcile the discrepancies and let the flow of love continues

And Finally, don't force yourself on people — It's not right...

I love you
