Love! Love!! Love!!! This really gets me thinking and it holds a deep spot which is equally sore, wounded and defeated within me. I feel like I am not capable of loving anymore because of my experience in the past. Yeah! Love is not something that could be said to be physical, but it can be translated into the physical through some expressions.
Far back in school there was this girl that I hardly ever talked to her through the years in school. This could also be said for my friends too who were not on good terms with her. Quite a few years into school I began to notice some changes within this girl. From a young girl Martha was growing into a beautiful young woman. I saw the changes in her and I told my friends about this changes in Martha, but they were all quick to dismiss my findings. I later went out of my way to actually talk with Martha so as to get to know her, I was actually setting the ground to ask her out. While I was doing this I told my best friend about this and he was like I should leave the girl alone. He said that there is no need for me to make any move on Martha because there was nothing to gain from her. On my own end I saw a beauty with potentials for me as a girl friend. I told my friend categorically that I wanted this and I was going to get what is mine.
A few weeks later I went for a visit to check up on my friend. While he went to ease himself in the bathroom I just took his phone to play with normally, but something told me to go through his phone. I saw the unbelievable, my friend was already chatting with Martha on phone already and this was not too good for me. It was like a sort of betrayal. I continued down the chat and found out that he just asked her out the week before and she replied him by saying she would think about it.
I was angry and vexed at this and I confronted my friend with what I had seen and he was not even a teeny weeny bit remorseful for what he did. I went out of his house a angry man too think within myself on what to do. The next day my friend came to my house and tried telling me to understand his view on the girl. I told him I was already in love with Martha and he very much knows that for a fact. I asked why he could do such a thing to me. He told me that I just have to forgive him and I have to consider him now that Martha had already consented to his request. I was shocked by this. I almost passed out. This was the love of my life being taken away from by own friend. Is love a betrayal? I do not know about this.


Love is not a betrayal. Love on its own have no power to 'love' feel indifferent or betray. It is man that has used love to do amazing and wicked things. Now to the other entry

Yes! Love is just a word until you experience it, its like hearing so much about a particular food, you even perceive the aroma, but its not like eating the food yourself.
I met my love in a taxi😛😍😊 yes! We just sort of connected. Firstly I carry a long face when i go out or walk.. Not like i know of it but, my friends tell me. But for some reason that day I was smiling when i entered the cab and he entered immediately after me. Next thing i heard was "excuse me, I love your smile" I immediately stopped smiling but somehow he got me talking and paid for my fare. After about 2 months we decided to meet again, we fell in love and connected immediately, i could say our spirits connected.... Its been 3 years and counting and we're still in love and growing in love and putting God first😊


.... Remember, many people will go through life without an opportunity to fall in love; and they will never know what it means to find that 'one person' they can stop the world for.

They always say first love doesn't have an happy ending, I never believed it until I experience it, now I am scared to love again, cos my first love gave me a wound that takes a lifetime to heal... It happened 9 years ago, I fell in love with my neighbours daughter but it wasn't really my intention at the Beginning , it all started with friendship, I never knew friendship and being too close would make my heart decide for me, we played, talked and was always together most of the time, people were envious of our friendship, all was going well until I travelled and after few weeks, her thought struck me, I became so uncomfortable henceforth, I had to go back home, when I got home, she was happy to see me but I know things has changed.. Missing someone like that has passed the level of friendship, I didn't even know what love means then but I know something isnt right, after few weeks together, I confessed my feelings to her only for her to tell me she loves me just as a friend and nothing like dating can never occur between us ...i was rejected, I felt so dejected, there was nothing I could do to win her heart, I lost a friend and a lover that very moment as things can never be the same again, I couldn't bear the pain, I left town the following day to stay with my sister, but still my heart hurt, I was down for good six years, I couldn't relate with the world no more, I only work and work all day in other not to think about her, for good six years I bear the pain, atimes at night, when I remember her and the memories of our past flooded me, I shed hot tears.. Love is beautiful, it only takes the right person to make you love the word love... Don't fall for the wrong person and never blame your heart for loving someone ...the heart is never wrong, it only chooses that person that makes you happy!

love is beautiful, love is wonderful, love is the greatest of all feelings, this used to be my favourite quote until I met a guy when I was in secondary school, he was my classmate but very gentle, no matter what, he will never talk except you talk to him, I love his character and cool nature, I tried to make friends with him and it worked, the guy that doesn't talk happened to be a friendly person, he was just shy after all, but because he felt so comfortable with me, he tells me everything, not long we started having Feelings for eachother, he asked me out and I was happy to be his gf, we started dating and all was going well until one day a classmate came to meet me and said, did I know my boyfriend is also dating a girl in our class, I just laughed it off because I trusted him, not long after that I caught my boyfriend and the accused girl kissing in the lab of the school, I was shocked and I couldn't control the tears coming out.. he begged me but I couldn't continue with the relationship, he betrayed my trust, he betrayed my love for him... love hurts...
