Mmeso Inspires: You

You know… it’s really divine,

Beautiful and sweet,

That you will meet a stranger,

And he will turn to a friend,

Gradually a lover and a soulmate,

And he will love you deeply,

He will care for you,

He will revere you like an idol,

Don’t look at me that way, Nkoli

Go and find yours.

As I was saying,

The stranger turned soulmate will love you like his life depends on your existence,

He will notice when you’re sad and offer his shoulder to lay on,

He will tease you and compliment your looks,

He will be vulnerable to you,

He will call to check on you everyday,

And support your project as much as he can.
