'I LOVE YOU' DOESN'T PAY BILLS...

‘I LOVE YOU’ DOESN’T PAY BILLS

You tell me you love me every time

And I surely, I know you do

Deep within my heart of hearts

And with every bit of breath within me

I love you too

Probably more than you do

You’re the kind of man I’ve always wanted

I really thank God I have you all for myself

You posses the looks

You have the swag

The sound of your voice alone grants me more pleasure than orgasm

I boast of you to my friends all the time

I make them aware of how romantic you are

A moment spent with you is an endless paradise

You dazzle my world

And illuminate my darkest paths

You have all the qualities of a perfect man

BUT…..

It’s about time we wake up from our slumber & face reality

I didn’t want to touch on this initially

But I think you need to be aware

That love & economics move hand-in-hand

                                                                 I am a woman

An ordinary woman who has basic needs to be met

You tell me you love me every second

But my dear man

‘I love you’ alone doesn’t make a home

It’s about time you put flesh on your love

Express it

Make it more than words and body touches

‘I love you’ alone won’t pay for my nails or eyelash extension

 ‘I love you’ won’t pay for my Bangladesh or Vietnamese wig

Neither will it pay for my facials

You always want me to whatsapp you lovely messages

But baby boy, you should be aware by now

That ‘I love you’ doesn’t pay for recharge cards

When we decide to go out on Friday nights

‘I love you’ won’t pay the taxi driver

Neither will it pay for the drinks & chinchinga

‘I love you’ won’t pay for the pizza

Neither will it pay for the French fries & grilled guinea fowl

You want me to look spicey anytime we’re going out

But you know as much as I do

That ‘I love you’ doesn’t own a boutique

Your favourite meal is rice & black pepper with baked beans

Against a chilled bottle of lemon-flavoured sobolo

I don’t mind serving you that everyday

But it’s rather unfortunate

‘I love you’ alone can’t get that on your table

I sincerely love you as much as you do

But we need to face reality

Love that stands alone shall definitely die

It needs to be supported by a wallet

I wish this wasn’t the case

But my dear baby boy

You definitely need to know

That ‘I love you’ doesn’t pay bills…!!!
