I wrote to her in February 2015.

February 2015

A keypad on a phone entices me to type. To write words on and on. Imaginations that flows through the mind.

Today, it's about you. You I have come to know. You I'm learning about each day. A few miles you are from me but every step I want to learn of. The distance, I'd love to break but I know it's just for a while.

How are you this morning? So many words to say to you like I always want to. Talking all day long and the words never seem to stop. Talk of a time when I wondered how couples used to spend hours talking to one another, the time when I thought of what I'd be saying to you everyday and when I decided not to bother about it, that there would be something new, some similar for each day.

You amaze me each day, each day that I learn something new about you. Something that makes me wonder. Wonder how strong you are and how delicate you could be.

Your strength I'm proud of my dear. Days you get to spend at the office working on the reconciliation, doing the process map even till 1a.m in the morning at home. Something I'd rather not try unless it's an emergency. Even sometimes when it's an emergency, I shut off early. I guess I'm still the morning guy. With all the strength I can garner.

We are so different and I know. Different backgrounds. Different temperaments. I know for the dominant one. Different sex. Different ideas. Even different skin colours. And these all coming together with a bound of love makes a difference when we open our eyes to understand one another. A difference when I learn about the art of washing my hands when I get home even when I know I wouldn't be doing it always but I try to 90 percent of the time and you smile the 10 percent.

Love, a word I'm learning of each day. Still not perfect. I learn each day. I've got some distance to cover. Jesus taught on this and I see each day how it is been displayed in the Book of books. I say I love you not because I'm perfect towards loving you. I say I love you because I learn each day to. To love you. To be patient, to give, to listen, to share, to be humble and on.

Baby, it's a new month and there's so much we are going to achieve, as individuals and as a team. Welcome to this new week. You are definitely going to have a great day.

The words could go on and on....I'd let the pen rest here.

Love & More - Act 1

Right from the first day I saw you, I was drawn to you. Not love at first sight, but an attraction that I still cherish today after 13 years.  I still remember the many walks we took when we started talking. My-o-my, I loved talking with you. I still do. Maybe I was listening more, now that I think of it. The one thing I recall was you made it easy to talk and thinking of the walks between White House (Engineering Building) and Computer science Building including other locations within the Obafemi Awolowo University community? Still cherish them. You have come to show me another part of life, completing me in areas I am not as strong. Still a journey for me but I cherish the process even though I sometimes react to the adjustments. I cherish the results though. I love it when you are happy. When you smile (even at my dry jokes). I love it when you excel at the things you do. formal and informal.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness to things. I guess it comes with you being so st...

Love & More - Act 2

 It has been a while we had the movie night. We have some history with movie nights I must say. From the times in Akure, Lagos and now, Amstelveen.  Whenever we watch, it exciting. I enjoyed the action movies and then the love ones. I enjoy all of it anyway cos we watch together. the taking it back so you understand better is not so fun for me sha..me i have moved on in cases like that.....but anyways, i agree with you.......better to understand the context. When did we start watching movies together?   Before we got married I guess. I guess this was in Lagos before I took the job with BEDC. Not sure if we watched any on our own or always with Bukky and Busayo. But anyways..the history was formed. Cinemas. one thing I loved about Igbatoro, Akure was the Filmhouse Cinemas at the Akure Mall.  and then those cozy evening when we did nothing but watch a move together. Do you always stay up when we watch? Now I have to write that you might stay up with the first movie but...

The Many Walks with Kiity

 Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday?  I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy.  Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together.   Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons;  - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go.  W...
