Apollo- DML
She left my messages unread. She’s always with her phone when we are together. Always on another call with another guy. I thought we had something going on. Something magical and great. Or am I only a ****Dreamer****?. This is too hard to take. I can no longer bear the pain. The sight of everything reminds me of her. The spoon at the restaurant, the lady next door, the sound of a notification, even my sheet reminds me of her… I think she cast a ****spell**** on me. She is my obsession, I walked past her condo every day hoping to see her, I watch her from ****Afar****, hoping to see just a glance of her. Don’t blame me, she was my first love, hard to get over her and even if I want to move on, what do I do with the matching ****Tattoo**** I have on my wrist?. A constant reminder that my other half is missing. Call me names. I don’t mind, my friends are already tired of persuading me to move on but failed. I was asked to go out, socialize with others and open my heart to love again. Since it was Friday, I followed the boys to the club. ****The Friday**** ****feeling**** was in the air and for a moment I forgot my worries. “Can you pass me the opener?” an angelic voice whispered to me. "I think it’s the end time, God must have sent this angel down to earth to blow the trumpet, better I go on my knees and ask for forgiveness". “Excuse me-” She added, this time loudly. I handed the Opener to her but was still staring. She smiled and I felt like a 13-year-old kid, no one will believe I will be ****24**** in a few months. If this was a movie I think this is the perfect time for an ****interlude.**** It was the beginning of the end for me. Pardon me, that wasn’t meant to be an Oxymoron, it’s just the picture of what it was and what it was to be. Got to know from my friend that she was the ****New York City Girl****. I forgot the previous heartbreak I suffered in the hands of ****Shadè.**** I even covered the tattoo with black paint. With her I wasn’t shy, it was a nice feeling, her accent was out of this world. The ****Sound**** of her voice alone gives me goosebumps. I promised to cherish and love her. She was my light, my joy, my happiness. She was like the biblical precious ark to me and I protected her like the prophet ****Eli**** would. We did everything together, we had almost everything in common. Her Favourite song was from the “Love, laughter and goosebumps” album. Her favourite artist was my favourite too. Believe me-there is no better match than us. I can’t wait to recite the wedding vow with her but it seems I was going too far. It was a shiny sunny Sunday setting- I think the English men call this Alliteration but that’s the least of my concern, going to the beach with her on Sundays has become a ****lifestyle****. I was all set, with a basket in hand, fruits and snacks in it, ready to have a wonderful time with my lover. My friends called and asked if I’m down for a hangout, but I turned down their request (no pun intended) I felt like a ****champion**** waiting for his trophy. My baby said she was on the way. I waited for hours but she didn’t appear- I slept off while waiting and was woken by the sound of the doorbell ringing. With joy, I leap to the door but saw a letter in the corridor. I ran out looking for who delivered the letter, but I saw no one. I opened the letter and met what turned me into what I am today- a loner. “Why always me?” I asked myself, maybe not as loud as Balotelli but with the same seriousness. “Why will she ****Go Away****?” I asked no one in particular. I don’t think I can get over this one. ****God only**** ****knows**** if I will ever see her again if I will ever love someone like this again. I switched to ****Airplane mode**** (Check this article) and just want to be alone always. Every day I go over the last word in her letter and wonder how if i will ever forget those words, which was - “****Remember me”**** https://read.cash/@HappyBoy/airplane-mode-3d1965d3 Thanks for reading! 😔💚🎶 This is one of the drafts I had planned for my 5 days absence from this site. But for some reason, I chose not to post it. It was originally inspired by one of ate Jane’s article where she form an article from an album. But after reading @Ellehcim article yesterday, I decided to submit it in regard to the ***#PromptFactory*** challenge by @meitanteikudo A story using the songs of an Artist. My choice was the sophomore album by Fireboy DML titled “ **APOLLO**”
Till next time guys! Byeee…

It was really nice, I have seen this kind of writing before but this was pretty sad and sweet at the same time!!❤✌
Don’t tell me this is fictional. Hahaha sorry boss I can feel the pan with you. But who knows maybe when we waved goodbye to you with the letter. She is coming over to my place No worries I would tell you if I see her What are we friends for. 😂
Thanks bro😂 i will be waiting for her
Isssokay now. 😂 😂
Always have respect for people who can write an article likt this plus you have a great storyline
Thanks for the compliment Murakamii
Wow! What a nice write up. I'm sure fireboy will be proud of he sees this. I love fire boy songs most especially. He has no bad song
I doubt if he will 😂 but i love him so much...he's my namesake
Hmmm....this was so intimate, like the connection I felt from this was intense. You related those feelings with the music so well and I must say this is the best piece I have read today.
My favorite album after Burna boy twice as tall. The way you related his songs to your article is really amazing
Damn...you've got a lot of Fireboy songs on you phone, you must be a real fan. Anyways the love story was mehhh.... , I've never been in love, and seeing people in love and getting heartbroken is just weird for me. I'm happy for you; it's only a fictional story and not real.
Love it.. But I never heard about this singer 😅 maybe some of his songs but unaware of the singer. I don't actually care about the singers behind the songs I'm listening to. I just love their melodies.
He is a Nigerian that's why,though recently he is going international. Exactly! The melody and lyrics is what matters the most
Bro you're very good! I love this fireboy's album and this your article made me love it even more, the effort you put into creating this is very obvious. My favourite songs from the album are Spell, Eli, dreamer, afar, sound and remember me. Good job bro 👏
Hey this a good one ha. You also join the challenge, lovely. Me too just like Jane I'm not familiar with the artist hmmm. Is he a rap singer or anything?
He sings Hiphop not rap. But he is versatile and good. Yes i can understand why you don't know him. He's Nigerian .
Omo☺☺☺i am going to try this too with an artist album,I love it like "kilode". This article burst my head I swear. Well, you have always shown me you are good at writing for long and this prove it the more. I love this 🥰🥰🥰 and I am saving it.
Wow...this is real cool! I wish I can do this oo
This has to be the new way of creating contents , jokes aside I will say Tattoo was my favorite. I wonder why people keep comparing him to Joe Boy. Well, people always was a competition whatsoever.
I'm not familiar with the artist, but I still like how you put all those songs of him in one article
Amazing job! That was splendid work. Thank you for doing this one, I hope you enjoyed writing this as much as I enjoyed reading. :)
Yes i did, it was fun. Thanks for organising prompt like this
No worries. I had fun making it, so I just want others to experience the fun too :)
Wow, you finally did it! I loved it so much. The songs are fire, too. Thanks for the mention, I really am happy you also participated here. ♥️
