Our love is the sweetest

By Oluchi Omai

I care like I don't, and will not care even if I do. It's a soft spot, a weakness on my part, so I won't show it. Even though I can't help but let it out. 

My eye gates fail me because they keep gazing at you, my lips keep embarrassing me because they keep speaking your name amidst events that do not warrant the mention of your name. 

I have become so much interwoven in you that I keep caring like I don't, and will not care even if I do. 

Now, they know I am madly in love with you because I don't care how I care. They know I  keep caring like I don't, and will not care even if I do. 

Now their eyes are wide open to see you and their ears 👂 ready to hear your name. 

They can't imagine it "so, finally he's found a lover," they say. 

I only smile at their ignorance, because they never knew that it was you who found me instead and not I who found you. 

That is why I care like I don't, and will not care even if I do. 

Our love is the sweetest and I will never care what people keep saying about us. 

Just help me care and love you the more...

JESUS my lover.
