This Love Poem by Preston Mwiinga

I knew you at that point that my life I was not ready to love.
I talked with you like to you like the way I talked with any other person
I never saw any love in you that very moment I saw you.
I did not have any feel of love the moments we interacted as friends
Destine brought us together like those people who were on a pilgrimage,
With no idea of one day being in-love with each other, we fell in love and
We could not avoid what was meant to be.
It was this love that made me drop down before you with a ring in
My hands to ask for your hand in marriage and you said yes,
The love in me like the airtel's promotion me2u made us travel
To Kalomo with my team to make things possible and they welcome.
I longed for that day when I would eventually call you mine and that day is today.
I never thought it possible
That I would be standing here with you.
It was something I thought was a fairytale
A happy ending to a children's book
I never thought it possible
For it to be so true and so real that you would be in this lovely wedding
Dress for me.
I never thought it possible that you would choose me before many.
I never thought it would be possible seeing people gathered here to share
With us our happiness and congratulate us.
I never saw it possible but not it is possible that you are my wife and I am your
Husband
It is not magic nor a fairly tale story, vachitika.
It is no longer a dream lelo nakwatila, natenga, nadonsa kunyumba.
I loved you then and I still do
But now I know I'm IN love with you
I promise not to leave you
I promise to stand by you and love you
I will always be here with you my love.
