Delight Chilegide Olumati

When I am with you I tend to be you,
when I am with you I use your terminologies.
I turn, I change.
I morph into something else.

When I am with you a different side of me springs out.
I am more than me.
I am better off than the person I used to be

When I am with you I am more in love with myself,
when I am with you the world pauses,
as time takes a trip of no return

When I am with you I forget my pain.
I know what it feels like to be in love.
I understand love better with you.

When I am with you I smile.
When I am with you I talk a lot,
the talkative in me barks like a dog fighting for his life.

When I am with you I am free,
there’s no need to be uptight,
I throw being official outside the window

When I am with you I feel life again,
I see 1001 reasons to breathe,
I see a future that did not exist yesterday.

When I am with you I miss nothing.
I remember Romeo and Juliet,
Wait! What if this is us re-living it.

When I am with you I don’t just make memories.
it’s not just about the history,
I feel the moments too.

When I am with you I draw inspiration.
I add a plus one to my…
I feel us.

And
when I am with you,
you beat me to wake up from this dream,
I am single and there’s no you.
