Dear Diary.. I met someone,
..as chronicled by myself;

My diary, it’s my singular honor and privilege as I’m here to tell you about the imperfectly perfect girl, the ever smiling whose smile always illuminates my day anytime I come across the uncommon smile.

Talking about this incredible person, it all started on a seamless note - “a state of knowing someone casually without putting extra effort to know them". I never could have imagined this being would take a toll on me. The first coincidental incident was the picture I took about 7months ago, unknown to me that an angel is lying effortlessly behind the wall of my picture room.

Dear diary, I can tell you the number of reactions I received from friends the first time I posted the picture — I almost deleted the picture, 'cause I couldn’t just withstand the weight of the comments that was trooping in — it was too voluminous. That was how the event went. Fast forward to last month again when the friendship started getting stronger. A message was received from her, mistaking me for the “XXXX" staying the reasons why she wouldn’t be able to make it down to the “XXX". Politely, I replied, and told her the situation of things.

Since then we’ve been cool as colleagues. Not until the evening of one great day my instincts told me to message her, and I did as directed by my spirit. It’s at this point I got to know the kind of personality she has. Dear Dairy, let me give you a short note on her;

• She’s a beautiful, calm, collected, intelligent and reserved babe. Her manner of approach is too enthralling and breathtaking. She’s a lover of sport particularly football and race. A seasoned public speaker, with a flawless command of English. I fell in love with her diction and her ability to provide ideas to issues. Her strength to hold formal/intellectual conversation is highly commendable and appealing. She’s a 10/10.
• Her charisma, composure, and simplicity is greatly commendable, soothing, and inspiring. She made me believe in the power of girl child towards excelling in this world with her dexterity and uniqueness towards making a big difference. Her prowess to think outside the box, even when the odds are against her is very encouraging. She’s a 10/10. I guess all laws is breakable for her, and I will, if it warrants it.
• With her, I feel complete and whole. She seems to be the missing number I’ve been searching for all my life. She’s really amazing and loving. She’s a strong lady, with a heart of gold, tender voice, pleasant smile. Soft and smooth skin princess. Her voice is a thing I never got tired of hearing — the golden voice of hers makes me see the importance of life much better. She’s absolutely a big fan of learning.
• Her white-ful eyes made me understood the meaning of life better. A compassionate and wonderful soul, she is. Her eyes are beautifully made, the nose is amazingly curated. The lips are too hot to be neglected. WaLlahi, God dey create. Her sense of humour too isn’t small. Big and loud! She’s amazing, loving, and could be baby-ish at times.

Dear diary, let me stop describing the unending qualities of her, so I don’t seem to be head over heels for her. I’ve been looking for who to share this with, you name just crossed my mind, and I deemed it fit to let you know about the happening in my life. Well. You say, do I like her? Yes, I really do. Infact, I don’t like her, I love and adore her. D!

Thank you for giving me the platform to discuss this with you. I greatly appreciate. I’m humbled.
