I got kisses after three years.

“A kiss is a lovely trick designed by nature to stop speech when words become superfluous.”

Ingrid Bergman

How soft the kiss was when I got one after three years. I love it! It was as if the moment shouldn't go away but we can't stop the day and night not to go away, but we keep waiting for what the next day brings. It's been three years since I last had my last kiss with my ex-boyfriend and ever since then, no one came around until someone showed up in August this year.

The way it happened, I can't even explain but it was just so funny to me. I think when God wants to work something out, He does it in a way that no one would be able to understand but it happened. Let me leave that part, maybe for another day.

I am someone who has no time for relationships not until this guy came into the picture and I want to give this another chance and see where it leads to seeing he is real about it too. I hope it leads somewhere beautiful because I do not want any hurt or pain from the relationship. Also, I am not getting younger but older and there is a need to give love a chance again even though my past has been a bad one with different relationships with guys who aren't sincere or not ready to go deep into one.

I wanted to keep this a secret, especially on social media because I don't like stuff like bringing my relationship online for people to know what is going on in my life. No! I don't like it. I prefer a low-key and would only decide to show us when the time is fully right. Besides, I love surprises and would want people to be surprised too.

I only told two close people around me. They didn't believe me at first because that was something they wanted for me all this while. They would always wish for me to have someone soon, but I don't even bother about that. But now, I am into a relationship that I keep praying for and wishing it last. In a relationship, the tribe doesn't matter as long as there is trust and communication between you both.

Also, I see him as someone serious about this relationship. It took me a while to accept him fully because I was having some doubts at first but later, I decided to go with it and see where it leads to; of course, a lasting one.

After a month, he decided to visit me from the east. Before then, we have always been chatting every second and minute. I observed he needed attention and that is one of his love languages which I got to study from him. We always communicate every moment daily and many times, we do video calls where we laugh and gist of many things.

He even complained about me not having his time. I told him I am always a busy lady especially working online, but later, I understood him and had to schedule my time for him too. At least you have to create time for someone you love.

Then, he told me when he would be coming to visit me and most especially to get to know some places in my state as he loves to travel and go to different tourist centres. Hearing that, I was excited and started looking forward to that day. The day seems so long in my eyes; I think this is how one feels when you are in love again but one should be careful at the same time. I was patiently waiting for the day while I was doing some cleanings in the house plus getting some things to get prepared for his visit to my place.

The day he finally came, though he arrived so late at night and I could see he was so tired from the journey. Going to pick him up in the night, I quickly recognized him and we both went home together. Getting home, I welcomed him to my home and he kept his bag down. We then kissed for a while before I gave him some food to eat and relaxed.

The kiss was surreal and I enjoyed it too. Let me stop here for now.

Thanks for your time.
