As soon as I stopped pursuing her was exactly when she stopped running.

The crush I was dyeing to know,

no man ever gets tired of beholding a damsel through the lenses of his eye with all its glamour that can never be to die for. But I still choose her even if I could never get her because I haven't really looked enough. And if still I haven't found her attention I haven't done enough.

The first time I laid my eyes on the most beautiful thing between the earth and sky, we both stared each other but it was swift I never got the the chance to connect with her.

She was gorgeous, but after the first few months I realized that her bright red skin didn't move me anymore...i couldn't anymore, I only had a few month but she got different to me. I didn't understand what happened cuz she was the same one that pierced through my heart when I first saw her, and a dream that completely came to an end just within months of taste and desire.

But I noticed something distinct about the way it all unfolded and I still can't grasp how my dream could all of a sudden not be. Dreamt of a savor sweet moment together eventually that went off.

I kept chasing and she kept running, we got too far that I ran out of fuel to disrupt the chance of continuity cuz I was tired, tired of the troubles I face each time I tried. Ignored completely and became less worthy to be obsessed over, as soon as I stoped pursuing her was exactly when she stopped running.

I believed that there was something special in what I wanted to get to, it's a cycle of Chase because as I was running things remained the way they where at the initial stage, only My self was hurt. I needed to go beyond what was on the surface to be new, to be regarded, indeed dreams do come true but mine didn't.

I began pondering if she does like me like I did, it was funny that all attempts to draw her attention wasn't sufficient...many will say I wasnt man enough and why was that? I thought as time went on she will have no other option than to dance to my tune seductively though. It was a big No! What more could I have done, all efforts was wasted at the rim between drive and force locked at the moments of uttermost confusion.

Just like how God expect us to be different because all those things we faced will be made good again, he whispers in me that "all things are made good again" and just like the old things are gone and all things are new, baptised and reborn by redemption made me new through God.

God keeps chasing you but when you don't run to him he stops, God has a real view towards you because you refuse to always believe, and so I wanted to date her as the crush I was dyeing to know forgetting that she wasn't running to me she was running away from me.

When God rekindles the flame he will choose you regardless of how far you run to, he still sees you and whatsoever God says is good is still good enough.

God gives new mercies and new glory to every man, it may take decades or even much more but when he finds you he will stay in you till the last days.

I grew to know better, she grew to know her own, my new response will always be why run when you can wait for the true encounter which is Jesus...he is ever ready at your door steps waiting on you to accept him and be his own.

I know you didn't see the twist coming, relatable or not follow Christ.

Thank you for your time.
