Under khaki skies

I met you in khaki and sunlit days,

Under the NYSC sky where laughter stays,

We walked like strangers, but something grew,

A quiet spark the moment I knew.

We found the water, calm and blue,

And somehow it felt like it knew us too,

We swam, we laughed, no need to pretend,

In that moment, you were more than a friend.

Beneath the surface, where silence lives,

I held you close in the waves’ soft drift,

Your body near, your heartbeat clear,

A rhythm I wished I could always hear.

Your smile… warm like morning light,

Soft and steady, pure and bright,

It pulled me in without a fight,

And made everything feel so right.

I felt your hands, gentle and true,

Like they spoke words your lips never knew,

And in your heart, I caught a flame,

Now nothing around me feels the same.

Maybe it’s crazy, maybe it’s fast,

But some moments are built to last,

And if this is where our story starts,

Then you’ve already found a place in my heart.
