This Love Something
I recently bought a smart phone
It is made in China
It met all my specifications
Bluetooth, WiFi, Internet, Great Sound
And Clear Camera picture quality
Did I tell you that it's sleek?
Yes, it is a very attractive phone.
You see, meeting a special person
Can feel like getting a new phone.
Your heart skips a beat at the sight of her
Her voice is music to your ears
When she flutters her lashes
Clusters of butterflies form in your tummy
And your heart gives off an irregular rhythm
The type that doctors call atrial flutter
His very presence uplifts your mood
His voice serenades you
And his text messages warm the cockles of your heart
Time ceases to be important
And you are convinced that this thing you're feeling is love.
I mean, how could it not be?
This "love" is even more perfect than picture perfect
His right ear is your diary
He is your confidant and bestie
She is before anyone else
You make promises to one another
The type that politicians make during campaign season:
Unrealistic but sweet to hear
But as time goes by,
My Chinko phone begins to hang
As if it is in a mannequin challenge
After it falls once or twice,
The screen cracks,
Charging port spoils,
The ear and mouth piece start to malfunction
And this once elegant beauty
Becomes a source of frustration
You see, Human love is made in China
It never lasts.
After a few misunderstandings and arguments
Her voice becomes an irritating noise
Her look becomes judgemental
His very presence repulses you
Like Titanic, this love has hit the rocks
and you have that sinking feeling
You regret saying those words:
I Love You
You feel betrayed
And you fall out of love
My country people,
Love is not a fairy-tale
It is beyond words, gestures and candlelight dinners
For you can only experience true love when you are both in God
Because God is love
And falling out of love
Is falling out of God
So whenever you say those words:
I Love You
Remember that you are making a decision
To stay within the confines of God's perfect love
So to love her is to love God.
See you at the top!!!
