Not So Fast…a Wish Of A Lover Poem by mercy kihungi

People say ones love life is how you handle it. Don’t judge me yet,
I have been to others and if am alone it’s because I didn’t get the satisfaction.
Don’t talk of how ‘I handle it’ it’s a two way affair.
I wanted to but there was no reciprocation. But if…

If you love me like that I promise to stay,
If that’s how you will be touching me I assure you,
I will be all yours. And look, isn’t that how we ought to live?
…this is how we are supposed to be.
Take me to my cloud nine, I will not disappoint either.
Baby hold me…don’t let go…I will be all yours.

Don’t judge me. If I won’t let you in,
Have been through much to make it so easy.
If man was meant to toil then let it be.
Why submit if the case isn’t a similar cause?
‘Coming’ inside means satisfaction in totality,
But did you care if am even okay?
Not so fast…but if…I will stay
