Lucky for you…I like you
This is a challenge by McCoy, thank you Zainab Balogun O. for urging me to participate, love you girl. Here we go😍
I like friendships…
Not the ones defined by beauty or brains, not the ‘ I only make friends with beautiful people.’ I like friendships that are genuine and defined by love. Where we tell each other ‘I got you’ and mean it. Friendships where we know that I am usually aloof as to how to behave when a friend is hurt, but here is my shoulder, lean on me.
Friendships that are not concerned about individual gains at the expense of the other person. Friendships that look out for one another. Yeah, I like these kinds of friendships.
I like love…
Took me a while to admit this(that’s a lie, I am a hopeless romantic) but yeah, I like love. The kind where we are sweet and soft to each other but turn to vampires when there is an intruder because we must protect each other. The kind where we clap for one another and the idea of ‘small win’ does not exist because every win is a win and we must celebrate. The kind where we don’t let our anger get to the next day, like; I don’t want to talk to you right now but you are still my favorite person. Here, take my 🍭 I am willing to share. The kind of love that’s genuine. Yeah, I like this kind of love.
I like solitude…
Yes, I do. I can’t think properly when too many people are around me. People talk too much which is allowed but please let me be. I have the best kind of fantasies in solitude, my best ideas come to me in solitude. And even though I adore you, please give me space.
I like that thing you do with your hands…
Not that one silly, the other one. I like it when you hold my hands and then turn to look at me, I like it when you squeeze my hands to reassure me that you are here. It’s not even gendered specific, I like hand-holding, not usually the one to initiate it because I am scared of rejection but when my hands are held, I feel safe and loved. I like hugs too, yes! Squeeze me but leave a little oxygen for my mum, she can’t lose me yet.
I like kindness…
The one that’s done without cameras, the one that’s done to people you know you will never meet again. The fact that someone is smiling because of an act of kindness makes me teary. The fact that I made someone’s day better makes me feel like a hero. Someone once said, kindness is the most selfish thing on earth, and they were not far from the truth. I like kindness, it’s weirdly soul-soothing and massages one’s ego at the same time.
I like vulnerability…
I know you are not superhuman so stop trying to be one. I like vulnerability because it shows me that it’s okay to cry. It also proves to me that you trust me enough to be vulnerable to me. Are you hurt? Tell me. Sad? Depressed? Weak? Broke? Tell me. We will find a solution together and I promise to hold your hands tightly.
I like funny people…
Because they don’t take the world seriously. Most things are a joke to them and even though it’s a tad bit annoying, they would probably laugh at me because I think their funny nature is annoying. Maybe the world is not that complex, maybe it is, but funny people have cracked the code by making fun of life.
Funny people 1- Life 0
I like you…
We have met and we are yet to meet. But I like you because of the ray of sunshine you bring to my life. You make me smile with your weird-sounding laughter and your comrade stickers. I like you because you see me even when I don’t see what you see in me. I like you because you are my biggest cheerleader. I like you because your friendship is soft and even though we are miles apart, I want to hug you. I like you because we vibe a lot even without trying. I like you because of a million reasons and more. I like you because you are you.
Lucky for you… I like you❤
Lucky for me… you found me❤
