This is a non-fictional love story in 21st century Nigeria.

What is love? HER. The great philosophers, writers, movie producers, musicians, Pastors, Lawyers, as well as people in all fields of life & likewise myself have talked about love countless times, but what really is LOVE?
In short words, HER. She is LOVE.
Through the hands of time, there exists a powerful force of nature that propels and compels human existence, sparking connections and building relationships together, and that phenomenon is known by the name "LOVE". Love is the great interconnector and Love exists in many forms, however the form of Love in question here is Romantic Love. Love is a commitment intentionally choosing your partner 365 ¼days a year, 24hours a day, 60minutes an hour, 60seconds a minute, 1000 milliseconds per second, and mutually sticking together in loyalty, care, thoughtfulness, kindness, trust, affection and respect. No matter the circumstances, Love is embracing each moment with a cheerful heart knowing you have your person always there for you through it all. Love is words and deeds, meaning the actions ought to align with the words. There are tons of definitions of Love, however these definitions are inconclusive to the depth and actual meaning of Love. Nonetheless, here's our story:
It was a cool evening on the 14th day of November, about the hour of 4 at noon. I momentarily gazed into space embracing the peaceful natural scenery around my vicinity at the park and in the next moment I was met with the sight of a beautiful African queen who was skinned & clothed in Gold(melanin por por por, lol) having the cutest smile my eyes have ever witnessed. As she swayed her way walking towards me like a supermodel underneath the bright sun, her skin radiated with a bright glisten leaving me dumbfounded and in awe at how majestic she looked.
Eventually, we got together embracing with a firm warm hug for few minutes, just like engine gears interconnect together for the smooth running of a machine or to hold each other at a halt.
There was no charade at our meet as we connected seamlessly like 1s & 0s make up digital connections, likewise the energy felt mechanical converted into electrical as our face lit up with "Joy" being together(electrician rizz, lol). At this point, my heart pounded with a slow peaceful pulse, as it felt therapeutic mutually cascading into each other.
We got tickets at the entrance of the park to gain access in, then we stepped into the park headed towards the arcade game area where we had so much fun. We engaged in the rifle gun range shot and basketball shot activities, testing our abilities, patience and focus.
We first attempted the gun range shot where she finessed her shots with pizzazz hitting some targets off like a ranger and I followed suit like a seasoned veteran sniper hitting my targets too. Afterwards, we proceeded to the mini basketball shot game, and due to my experience playing basketball I taught her some basics of shooting a basketball and she was quick to learn despite falling slightly short as the shot range was fixed and long. Still the fact she was open to learning and trying says everything about her amazing personae which would be explored and appreciated down the line. I attempted my shots making 50% which is somewhat fair as I was rusty(not an excuse, how dare you miss mister man? Bombastic side eye, lol).
We moved onwards to the movie theater to see a new movie titled "Now you see me, Now you don't", and it was a good watch. We shared some laughs while seeing the movie as it was fun filled, had some romance, sparkles of magic, eye catching action & drama. Out-of-the-blue, the movie ended with some elements of surprise we never saw coming as the supporting character turned out to be the lead character all along, mindblowing experience.
The movie concluded, so we stepped out the theater and sat by the restaurant space having some conversations where we talked about life, how we met so randomly, connecting organically over time and we shared some intimate moments, which I'll spare the details because our parents might be reading this. I gifted her something unique and thoughtful as a surprise which she liked and appreciated.
We took a stroll holding hands like an interlock(easier to setup, tougher to detach, lol). As we strolled around the park, we came across a tree with lots of dove-like birds, and as lovebird cutie patooties we made videos and took pictures there, so we can savor the moment for memories later. lol.
Time had passed and it was getting late, although we never wanted the day to end, we knew that we had to part ways going to our various homes, so we proceeded to the exit of the park. Next up, we requested car rides to go home, after some while waiting, lo and behold! her car ride arrived, it was time to say our goodbyes. We hugged firmly like nuts and bolts hold up together, because we didn't want to let go, as it felt like parts of our hearts and selves were subconsciously attached to each other. She entered the vehicle to leave and I gave her a kiss on her forehead. In that moment, we gazed into each other's eyes with a strong yearn of sweet loving romance as we waved each other goodbye, knowing we would see again.
Now, these moments were fun, exciting, intimate & ours to share, however that is not the entirety of what makes HER.
It's in how she communicates effectively, how she selflessly inquires about my emotions or experiences, trying to bring me some comfort through those as I do for her, how she nurtures, how considerate she is, how kind she is, how teachable she is, how she takes accountability and tries to do better, how she speaks life into me, how she listens to me, how respectful she is, how she invests into her work, how she holds on to God steadfastly, how she speaks about herself, how she reasons positively, how she dresses, how she smiles or laughs, how she says "hey baby" or "Good morning my king" ouuuuu! how beautiful it'd be to hear the lovely sound of this forever... I could go on and on talking about HER, the positive effects she has had on me and how much I love her, but these words till eternity or infinity would not be enough, so I choose to show her through my intentional, selfless & thoughtful actions just as she mutually does too.
Ever since we connected, we have been there for each other in multiple ways: praying, cheering, appreciating, supporting, advising, correcting and teaching each other, because Love comes with selflessness and admonition as realistically we're two individuals with different insight, experiences and upbringing. In order for us to flourish we have to be intentional about communicating effectively to understand situations or perspectives, make changes and try to do better to grow more in love, life and our careers together. Honestly, meeting her has romanticized and made my life feel lighter, like there's not a worry or hurry in the world, because she feels peaceful like home, and I want to spend my time and grow more in Love with her.
As much as I may not be able to conclusively fathom or articulate an answer that is generally acceptable, if you ask me WHAT IS LOVE? I'll say HER.
