AGAINST ALL ODDS

To my good friend Abimbola Otu.. May the stream of love she has found, flows into a river of everlasting joy.





How can I think I could love you equally?
I can never measure the length of your love
The first time you touched me, my heart melted completely
When ever I look into your eyes, I see love

Like a hostage held in a getaway car
I am unconditionally indebted to you
Where ever the destination, no matter how far
I am content as long I am with you

We can leave the world behind us
Lean my love on you, that is all I want to do
Let us go somewhere no one can find us
Any place is home as long we see it through

People say look at them, they are naive
Against the odds, we can not make it
I am thankful we never adhered to thoughts negative
See how far we have gone, together we beat it

After all this time, you are still the one I love
Everyday, the feeling in my heart is brand new
I found a priceless treasure no one thought I could have
This is but all thanks to you
