Do I believe in love? That question once puzzled me deeply. I've witnessed love's dual power: to transform the benevolent into the malevolent, turning fervent dreams into harrowing realities. Love has been my companion and my adversary, a source of joy that, when lost, became a profound source of pain.
Yet, love has returned to me, softly and unexpectedly, challenging my skepticism and coaxing out a cautious hope. Can I say that I truly believe in love? It's complex. Love undeniably has the power to drive us to the brink of madness. Yet, despite its tumultuous nature, life has taught me a valuable lesson: Love must be cherished while it is within our grasp.
Every moment spent with loved ones is precious, a treasure to be savored amidst life's relentless flux. As I've navigated the highs and lows, the presence and absence of love, I've come to appreciate its fleeting, fragile beauty. Love, in all its chaos and serenity, is something to embrace and celebrate, for as long as we are fortunate enough to hold it close.
***** The sunrise held no allure for me today; its arrival marking a new day seemed inconsequential. Even if the world underwent a miraculous transformation overnight—eradicating racism or achieving some other monumental shift—it couldn't compare to the joy I felt yesterday.
This morning, I awoke earlier than usual, just as the sun peeked through the clouds. Kofi's arms encircled me, the warmth of his chest pressed gently against my back. His towering presence enveloped me, making me feel delightfully small and protected within his embrace.
We lay intertwined, just as I had always envisioned our reunion. Kofi held me with a tenderness that filled me with an overwhelming sense of being loved. I watched his peaceful face in silent awe, marveling at my fortune in being cherished by someone so deeply.
Eventually, I attempted to slip out from under his arms, hoping to start our morning with a surprise breakfast. Yet, the moment I stirred, Kofi responded with a playful groan, flailing his limbs childishly. His simple, affectionate gesture tugged at my heart, binding me to the bed a little longer, reluctant to break the magic of our quiet morning embrace.
He began mumbling about the ungodly hour, his voice thick with sleep, practically pleading for a few more moments in bed.
"I'm not ready for this to end," he groaned, pulling me back down with a gentle but firm tug that had me tumbling beside him.
He slowly opened his eyes and stretched, the morning light casting soft highlights in his hair. "Good morning, my love," he murmured, a sleepy smile spreading across his face.
"Good morning, love," I responded, attempting to rise, but he had other plans. With a playful twist, he rolled over, pinning me gently beneath him as he propped himself up on his elbows.
"What are you doing?" I laughed, the surprise making my heart skip.
"Kofi, get up," I teased, laughter bubbling through my words.
