He said she was not his type
He didn't say it to her face
He said it to his best friend
The best friend told her
She had to descend that low
Try to figure out his thoughts
About her, about them being together
She loved him silly
She saw them together
That was all she could see

She had written the University admission examination three times
She had failed to make the cut off Mark
She had taken the third result badly
Most of her friends had gone off to school
She hated being branded a failure
She hated being stagnant
She slipped into depression

Her parents caught her just in time after she attempted suicide
She was rushed to the hospital
It was while she was at the hospital that she met him
He was an undergraduate
He came to visit his best friend who was clinically depressed
He walked over to her bed
He was sunshine...

He reached her out of that thick darkness
He touched her somehow
He became the highlight of her day
After 14 days of not saying a word to anybody
She spoke to him
Giggled at his jokes
She began to mend
When she was discharged, he kept in touch
She was 19
He was 22
She was in love

He came visiting often
Her parents encouraged it
The doctor also felt it was healthy
The following year
She passed her papers and gained admission
By this time he was in 300 Level
Her parents sent her to a private university
He kept in touch
She exchanged emails everyday!

She told him everything
He was her best friend
He was present at her
matriculation
She fitted so rightly into
Him as they took pictures
He was her joy!
He graduated and went off to serve
And somehow everything changed
He met a girl in Calabar
He stopped replying his mails

And somehow everything changed
He met a girl in Calabar
He stopped replying his mails
She had grown independent of his by this time
She could function without his light
But she missed him sorely
She tried to date some of her suitors
It was not the same
There was talk, smile and laughter
But everything was on the surface
None of them made her giddy
with delight

When he came home for Christmas that year
She went to his house
For the first time she realised he looked at her in a new way
Like someone beneath him
His attitude was totally offish
Like she was constituting a nuisance
He didn't say so but she could read him loud and clear!

She went home and cried her heart out
She had lost out in the race for his heart
She went back to school with a broken heart
She told herself to forget him
She is a person of worth and value
There is no point pining over someone who doesn't want to have anything to do with her

When he returned home from NYSC
He didn't return with the calabar girl
His best friend told her he had been jilted
His best friend also told her to stay away from him
His best friend didn't want her to get hurt
He was the one thing they both shared in common
She graduated!

Her father made sure she was not posted far away
She was an only child and her parents didn't want to take any risks
Her father had a thriving engineering firm
She had an automatic employment with the company at any time
She served with the company
He also got a job in the city

They bumped into each other one Saturday at the mall
She was going to shop for a birthday gift for her mother
She saw him walking out of the mall with a lady in NYSC uniform
She greeted him and walked briskly away
She didn't like how she felt
She didn't want to think about it

His best friend approached her the following weekend
He needed a job
He hadn't been able to get anything tangible since he graduated
She had offered to help him get a job several times
He always said no
Like "I want to be my own man"
She wanted to know why he changed his stance

He told her it was because he was in love with her
He knew if she got him a job he wouldn't be able to ask her out or say how he felt
But he didn't want to lose the girl and not get the job
He decided to get the job and find love elsewhere
She was shocked!
He loved her!
Wow!
Wow!

She never saw him like that
He masked his feelings well
But that day he was real
What he said was real
He wanted her
He felt he couldn't have her
He decided to cash in on their friendship to get a job
She got it
She asked him to give her two weeks
She just needed the time off

She went to the one she loved
Went to visit him at home
She told him about the conversation she had with his best friend
He listened with rapt attention and was happy for them
She didn't see (And she observed keenly) any sign of regret from him
He seemed genuinely pleased for her

The conversation did not make him angry
He really didn't love her the way she loved him
That much was clear to her
But she also didn't love his best friend the way the best friend loved her
She remembered how the best friend had always been there for her
Year in
Year out!
Wow!

Wow!
He was always the one calling and checking up on her
Even though she thought he was doing so for other reasons
She came to see that he really cared
She invited the best friend over for a chat
She agreed to be with him
See how things go for a while
It was the wisest decision ever!

They were married fourteen months later
She had totally forgotten her infatuation with him within that time
It was not as difficult as she thought it would be
She had loved and pined for an idea for years
The real thing was far more defining
He was the best man at their wedding
