Love is just but a simple word of four letters, but more lethal than brimstone fire, if mishandled by the wrong characters,
All of us have in one time in their teen-age life tried to grasp the soft feathers of love, thinking they would take an express flight to the future,
But as the days faded away, your “other half” started unfastening your clinging hands bit after bit,
Unless you decided to abstain from the matters of the heart in the sole aim of leading a chaste life, you can relate to this!

Here is a brown Timberland or do you prefer a gumboot? Let me walk you through my slippery path of love life,
Now, there’s this girl I happened to meet in the annual ball games; her name was Jackie,
She was sparkling like a golden jewel, her teeth stood firmly next to each other, while her infectious smile baffled many, and she knew it,
She drained away the attention of all the boys who came to compete, but due to the sharpness of her eyes and the social rank, everyone else decided to pocket their guts,

But since I had listened to “Michael Learns” and “Westlife” love songs, I made up my mind to climb a palm tree without a ladder,
I have always had the notion that a man is still a man, with my five dollars for pocket money, I bought an ice cream and kept the change for future endeavours,
You know; ice cream, lollipops and choco bar was the in-thing then, so I raised my collar, tucked in half of my shirt and bounced towards this daughter of dynasty,
She used to stay alone, all the other girls used to envy her, I guess they felt intimidated by her flourishing beauty and the shouting yellow skin tone,

Funny enough, she accepted my ice cream which was already melting under the rays of the scorching sun,
She stretched her leso on a patch of green grass under a tree that resembled an umbrella,
The shade was cool so we had a perfect view of the football pitch, so I didn’t hesitate, I unleashed my crammed love lines, one after the other,
And to my surprise, she giggled like an idiot, everyone stared at us ridiculously, now it is at this very moment I realised that I had just won an Oscar, and that’s how our first love journey begun…
