Ooh, my val…. My love, the
love of my life if I had never
met you, can I know what true
love is? No, I doubt it.
Meeting you is good, hav-
ing to know you is better
Knowing your love is the
best thing that ever
happened to me. To love
you is nothing, knowing
that you love me is every-
thing. Our love will
continue to soar, I believe
with our love we can fly
And the sky is our starting
point, Oooh my loving val.
This poem is from Oladayo
Ogunlana and it’s going out to
no one in particular.
