On The Eve Of Our Marriage Poem by Oluwadamilare Olalekan

looking through the windows
I wonder, gazing back at the old days
days of throwing stones at her roof
all to call her awareness

through the days
of beating about the bush
when the courage was not there, the words were

through the days of
let's give a trial
no! its not possible

through the days of
only if you promise not to break my heart
then finally, it was a yes, yes! a yes

through the days
when my mama and her papa refused

through the days
when my mama stood stern
and her father standing firm

through the days
of just one, just one, just a kiss

now, its just some minutes to go
