On my way back from School I met this guy for the first time we stare at each other intently it was like love at first sight the feeling was amazingly beautiful and mutual, oh I love it I smiled to myself but who is this guy? He looks new I will like to know him but how? I asked myself, I need to be discreet about this especially to my friends to avoid them from teasing me I shouldn't go against the tradition the guy should make the first move not the other way round. I was yearning to know him, we kept staring at each other at a particular spot anytime I was coming back from school. I mumbled is this love? But why am I so happy and keen to see him... I'm young for this I thought.
I was a secondary school girl who yearn to fall in love some day with the right man, I had about beautiful stories of been in love I wanted that too but I was waiting for that day to come. I met this guy name prince chocolate in complexion tall in height and handsome too it seems we like each other but we don't know each other from adam so one fateful day I saw him (my crush) in church after service we held a youth meeting a post was given to him but unfortunately he wasn't active for weeks no body saw him, I was wishing to see him again so I got his phone contact from someone who knew him I call and introduced myself he remembered who I was...within me I was excited finally I got to talk to him, with time we chatted more often and became friends most at times while glued with him on my phone I ended up burning my food on different occasion it was as if anytime I was on phone with him nothing matters anymore we were gradually falling in love with each other. When it comes to him I want everything to be perfect nothing should go wrong I try by all means to impress him, I told him I was a lead vocal in my church and I'm one of the best in my church I gave him the notion and impression that I can sings so well; his hope was high so he was expecting to see me sing like Celine Dion some day...
How I sang amiss
One fateful Sunday morning I was to lead the songs for offerings I was there at the altar and boom! Surprisingly my crush showed up with his friends and brother I was speechless and cold to my feet with the microphone in my hand I stand there lost on what to do, thinking on how my voice should sound exactly like Celine Dion I really wanted to impress him at all cost in my lost thought I noticed everybody was waiting for me to sing the congregations and all the instrumentalist even my crush too was keenly looking at me...I wished for someone else to lead the songs instead of me I mumbled why today why should it be me today, different thoughts was ringing in my head.
A signal was given to me by the instrumentalist to sing the awaited songs I started everyone was dancing after singing one to three songs I couldn't remember any other songs to sing that is in line with what I was singing, I sang the last song over and over again the atmosphere changed it was awkward and my voice too was not like anything close to Celine Dion infact I was singing with different keys; everyone was looking at me...that look of disappointment while some were laughing at me I turned into a thing of mockery, I stopped singing at the middle of the dance people have to Walk to their seat instead of dancing. My crush, his friends and brother left the church before we could dismissed I was there at the altar with the microphone in my hand an elder collected the mic and started to sing... I shamelessly left the altar to my seat feeling so embarrassed and too ashame to face my crush but later we laughed it out together.
