She smiles across the room

And its not aimed for me

But then I see those dimples

Glowing with the embers of your gaze

And I know I will come back to you

No matter what

In hopes to obtain your affection and attention.

A gleam  of curiosity in her eyes

Her dress code  a dash of retro

Whenever I look at her

The heart palpitates

By the sheer beauty my eyes take in

And whenever I look into her eyes

All I see is her waist

Isn’t that what Davido said?

Rainy nights thinking about Bijou

A prized possession lost in thoughts

Like faded jeans, torn at the ends

Little worn out, teared at different places

By cue

Our eyes meet briefly, not more than 5 seconds

A gaze too deep, too intent

And as the smile lights up her face

I find myself wondering

What is your name?

And as I turn to walk away from her

I can hear Erykah Badu’s

“You Got Me” playing in my mind

Nudging, pushing, necessitating

“Baby don’t worry,

You know that you got me. “

I want a human woman

Full of flaws and errors

Who can only laugh ten times a week

Simply to charm my heart
