A poem, by Fọlábòmí Àmọ̀ó

Write a story, she said.
You have a way with words.
Write about us.

The day we met.
Under the sunset.
On the water’s shores.
Overlooking the ocean.

The day I saw you over there.
We caught each other looking.
Our eyes met.
I shied away.
Giggling, as I turned my head

I looked again,
and you were almost there.
Walking up to me,
With a smile on your face.

Before any words were said,
I was already, enchanted.
