I LEFT MY HEART IN ABUJA

The first time I set my eyes on you, was a picture you took on a staircase somewhere in Abuja

There was something unique about your smile

It caught my heart and it never let go

Then we meet in Lagos a couple of months later

For some reason the sun was shining brighter that day

I don't know how you did it, you somehow got completely hold of me

And I couldn't let go, my heart keeps yearning for you

And you had to travel back, I couldn't say goodbye because my heart didn’t want you to go

I used to overhear people talk about how beautiful the city Abuja is

A city that’s full of dreams, love, opportunities, hope and inspiration

I could only think of you, that’s the only direction the compass in my heart keeps pointing me to

To me, you are the rainbow that makes the whole city beautiful

Every day I want to go on a ride to meet and spend time with you

But I couldn't find the right time to make a trip to come see you

Days becomes weeks, weeks becomes months and I lose track of time

I only see you through a thin memory frame of the little precious time we spent together

I have always treasure the brief moment we spent together

My heart has always been in Abuja, that’s where I found you

Someday am going to embark on a journey, to spend the rest of my life with you

I can’t seems to find love elsewhere, because my heart is fond of you

I have been praying for a miracle, that's for my dreams to come true

I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you

With Love to the woman of my dream..... Ibinabo Bobmanuel

WHEN I THINK OF VALENTINE

Memories Of You Eluded My Mind
You Stood By Me When Love Almost Deserted Me
Through Storms, Tempest And Raining Days
Your Love For Me Strong It Waxed Still
Some Say Putting My Love In You Was Wrong
But You Have Been The Best Thing
That Has Ever Happened To Me
I Smile Any Time I Think About You
Because You Are An Angel In Disguise
And Will Always Be My Valentine

IT'S HARD LETTING YOU GO

It’s been so hard letting you go

But am sorry you deserve better

I have not been able to keep my promises

I have not been completely truthful with you

Remember I once promised never to let you out of my sight

But we have been so far apart; I have not been around for you

I couldn't give you my shoulder to lean on when you were sad

My hand were never there for you to hold when you needed a friend

When you had cold nights, I was never around to embrace you to keep you warm

I feel so guilty; I have let you down so many times

I believe you deserve someone better who can take care of you

Sometimes I used to watch the sun set

I think of you, how you have kept my heart warm

Have you ever listen to the sea at night

It’s a perfect moment you can catch a glimpse of how the heart feels

It’s a place your heart can speak back to you

Please, I need you to forget everything about me

I know it’s never going to be easy

But can you try and pretend we've never meet?

Don’t be shy if you want to cry

I understand, I only wish am there with you right now

So you can pour all your tears on me

I have tormented you much more

I was never there when you needed me most

I have asked myself several times

How you could come to love me so much

Just thoughts of you make me smile

Sometime I stare at the pictures we took together

You’re so pretty and have made my world beautiful

Please don’t take me for someone cruel

I only wanted what’s best for you

I don’t want to see you get hurt any more like I do

The guilt’s of not been with you hurts every day that passes bye

I have still not been able to forgive myself

Please take good care of your self

I know you are much prettier now

Don’t want you to mess up your makeups

You‘ve got a good day ahead of you, I just don’t picture us spending them together

Believe me when I say I love you so much

Letting go is the hardest decision I have made in my life

It’s the hardest thing I could ever give up

Because I still love you and am going to miss you more

Thank you for making me the man I am today
Am sorry for letting you go
