An Open Letter to you

Dear Cyber Love,

I hope you are well.
I am eternally sorry I crossed a line.
What line? you'll ask. the line where i get to think of you as a part of my everyday life.

The Line where I take if for granted that when I call, you will answer,
or you'll call me back. The line where I said those damning words and I meant them.
That line that made me throw caution to the winds.
That line.

I enjoyed and maybe took it to an unexpected level.
I loved it when you called me Precious, Delicious.
Still makes me go all soft on the inside just thinking it.
Oh better still, I went Gaga at being 'Daddy's Little girl"

I miss you. I miss our little short-lived cyber romance.
Romancing the imagination that was you kept me running.
Gave me so much to look forward to.

Got me some me-time because i had FOMO on our cyber dates.

Well, time is up. Its been over four days of silence. Just that Silence.
I didnt know it would affect me so, but it has.
Feels like a whole new break up.

Used to look down on people who did Cyber relationships, until today.
Am going through the whole break up thing.
Anger, denial etc

Well, i've called, Texted, emailed and met with SILENCE.
Ouch!

Anyways, Dear Cyber lover,
short lived as it was, twas the best romance story i've participated in.
Having me as lead character.
Got me dreaming, hoping it wouldn't end.

The light's been snubbed. Gotta jump into bed now.

My prayer is this, tomorrow, i don't get tempted to IM you.
I pray I can control this heart beat when a notification comes up telling me you are online.

Adios My Love. 

Coming back home. Back to the village

Its been oft said ... "east west, home is best"
I left home some time back for a better life. Or what i thought would be a better life. The lure of the bright night lights, fast moving cars, 'smartly' dressed girls and boys was too strong to resist.
And I fell victim to my youthful desires.

The food's all fried. Believe me, even a cup of tea is somehow fried.
So, I lived in the city for but a while but it seems and feels like I was there for eternity.

I will take you through some of the highs and lows of that place as our time together passes.

However, am back home. I missed home. I missed these village paths- well beaten village paths.
I missed the trip to the well.  I missed the love around here, Imagine this; The neighbor's dog remembered me. She was all over me the moment I got close to their compound. Tail wagging and I could feel the love. She missed me, and I missed her.

When all is said and done. I am glad to be back home. My permanent stay here may not be guaranteed, somehow, Town Life grows on you. I might have to go back to that loud noisy filthy fried place.

However, not a minute goes by without me reminiscing the trips up those fruit (wild and all) trees. I mean the sheer joy of biting into a mango while you are still up there in the branches is unequaled. In the town area, you have to wash the damn thing before you eat it.

Can you imagine we buy jambula.. and its a rare commodity in that city.

I am looking forward to 'hanging out' with my Villagers.

For the time am spending here, I plan on re-living every memory I have of my birthplace- yes, right down to skinny dipping at that well.. (hope it exists).

I have a noticed a few changes however, there is more people, more housing structures.
I hope my play grounds are still n-touched. I turned another year just the other day and growing up is quite scary,
So, even if it will be just this once, I'd like to relive my childhood. Just one more time.

Am happy to be home.
I love you home

and Am proud to be called


Village Girl.
