(My Letters to Emilie).

Dear Emilie,

I know tough times come, but

We wrestle them times,

We wrestle with a couple of brains.

And that, is always a success.

Emilie, I believe I wronged 

Some people so hard

Including you, but

That is not why I am here.

I realized, today is 29th January😌,

And I thought I should apologize,

By writing something

That can make you want to cry.

Cry for nothing you don't know.

Just as hard this year started,

I don't have a gift for you,

I only got my brain and a pen

And I want to write Poetry on how we met,

How you first saw me on the street,

How you attended that Poetry night-

In Busamaga.

I also want to write,

How you lie,

The lies that keep me hopeful,

The lies that I have learned to lie,

And I think today is also another lie.

Without any tithe,

Allow me to say,

Today, you are a year older

 Than yesterday-

Because you were a year younger than today.

So, it is your Birthday.

Happy Birthday Bestie,

Happy Birthday Emilie,

Happy Birthday Liar 😂.

I would still say,

Enjoy your day dear,

You're the Best of all 

I met in recent times.

I, can't wait to see your 

Great grandchildren,

Listening to your lies 😂.

I want to write everything, but

My time is Up,

Just enjoy your day dear.
