Mmeso Inspires: The Ring

Five years gone and Alabi has not proposed yet…

I wonder if this is a child’s play or a chess game?

Because so fast I am running out of patience

I want the ring.

Few weeks ago, Sophia was proposed to, on the very day Alabi renewed his undying love for me.

Tell me Lily, am I going to spend my whole life hoping on a love which cannot be sealed.

Tell me?

A month ago, Juliana tied the knot with her Fiancé and here I am, smiling to Alabi and his promises of underlying love.

I want the ring.

Five years gone and I am still called “A girlfriend”

While most of my mates are being wives and mothers.

Invitations keep coming here and there…

Reminding me of my “Singlehood” as that is what I may call it now.

I want the ring.

Someone should help me and ask Alabi what exactly he is waiting for, before proposing to me?

Alabi has a house…

He has the energy, the fortitude.

He has the money…

He has the car…

He has it all, and yet he has refused to give me the ring.

Maybe he take me for a fool, Lily.

I want the ring.

When I pass by, people turn and hiss…

They said “How long will she remain like that?”

When I travel home family will shrug and say…

“Bring him home, and stop disgracing yourself”.

Tell me Lily, is this a child’s play or a chess game?

Because so fast I am running out of patience…

So soon, I am leaving this web disguised as “Renewal of Love”.

I want the ring.
