When You Came By Poem by Raimi Babatunde

It was the ultimate search
Days turned weeks
Weeks turned months
Months turned years
But, still I wait
Patiently like a Cheetah
The time is always right
When the time is right

Another came by
But in my heart
I knew it was you
And I kept asking
"Where art thou? "
All I want is you
My precious "Ileke idi"
Please come to me

Finally, when I saw you
After a telling while of searching
Buddies already tied the knots
Some, happy, others sad
Some divorced, others separated
Knowing you are out there
Gave me hope
And the strength to wait

When you came by
My heart palpitated
I suddenly lost my lines
For you are God's sweetest creation
My dazzling mirage
Your beauty radiates from the inside
Now that I found you
"I die there! "
This I swear on my honour

Walk by me; that I be your friend
Walk ahead, that I be your orderly
Walk behind, let me be your light
And the greatest of all;
Walk with me
That we may live happily
Ever after, till death do us part
I love you my "Ileke Idi"
The stage is set
The die is cast
Just say "Yes"
Will you marry me?
