Euphoria

He fell in love again, bright, cheered up and full of hope he looked
Into her eyes, a 24-year-old Luo girl, skin kissed by the sun
She bore the grace of neither slim nor fleshy, a blend of beauty and curves so divine
Her legs were exquisite, he marveled at her legs, and the elegance of her sculpted neck

He kept gazing at her neck, like an artist captivated by his muse
An obsession that knew no bounds

Was it truly an obsession?
He couldn’t tell, but he found himself lost in thoughts, whispering her name in the oddest of places
In the depths of his slumber, her name slipped from his lips
Pictures of her adorned his screens, her presence etched in his mind
He dared to declare, “I love you,” a phrase once imprisoned, now released with ease

Pet names, the kind lovers share, began to flow from his lips
He transformed from a “Taliban” to a simp, inching closer to saving her name with heart emojis
Yet, a teasing laugh from his friend, Laurent Adongo, brought him back from the edge
Leaving the name hanging, emoji-less, out of a blush of shame

He fell in love again,
Defying his firm resolve, he had sworn never to love again
He had even said, “Over my dead body,” but destiny had other plans.

For in the unpredictable dance of fate, where hearts and souls entwine,
He discovered a love more profound than he’d ever known,
A love that defied his expectations and reshaped his very being.
In this unfolding chapter of life, he learned that sometimes, our hearts lead us down uncharted paths,
Guided not by choice, but by the unseen hand of destiny.
