Will you, my love?
25 tender hopes of a hopeful romantic.
Will you cover me in heartfelt prayers, encouragement, and reminders of God’s promises—even when I don’t ask? I want you to be my partner not only in love but even more, in faith.
Will you honor my family and friend as an extension of your love and honour for me, as I do you?
Will you keep me accountable with my MITs (Most Important Tasks) for the day? Loving you isn’t an excuse for unproductivity. Though, I admit, thinking about you all day would be the easiest thing. Dreamy stuff, I love it!
Will you be happy to sync your device with my monthly cycle calendar, and send me thoughtful reminders. I’m serious. Statements like, “Our period is in two days. What do you need me to do?” will completely sweep me off my feet. Or better yet, take initiative with care packages. Please and thank you.
Will you cherish whatever gift I give you, using it every day because you love it—and proudly telling anyone who asks that it’s from me? Trust me, there's a long list of what I can't wait to get for you!
Will you write me love letters often? Maybe dedicate a journal to me, and create a regimen for entries? Those cute affirmation jars are my type of thing!
Will you allow me to braid your hair, and or beards? You no be toy, I know. But indulge me, please. You know, that’s why I keep praying you’ll be like Esau–not in selling your birthright (God forbid!) but in having a lot of hair. Grow out that beard, doodle!
Will you help me take down my braids, carefully working your hands through my fragile scalp while we talk about everything us?
Will you call me by sweet names that make my heart swell, and hype me up at every waking opportunity? With me, you can never go wrong with words of affirmation.
Will you surrender the meat in your food out of love? You know, without me having to ask for it? I like meat a lot. Feed me.
Will you carry me on your back after a long walk? (P.s - I’m lightweight, so you don’t have to worry). I promise not to kick you like a horse.
Will you sing for me? Even if it’s off key, I'll be glad you tried. But if you can hit heart-fluttering riffs or mind-blowing runs, I'll meet you at the altar in five.
Will you read to me slowly—poetry, your love letters to me, my writings, or even that book I’m too tired to pick up? I’m sure I won’t hear a thing, just lost in the wonder of you.
Will you take me on night drives through our city—wherever that will be? “Eyes on the road,” I might say, even though I'm completely floored by your sideways glances, thigh squeezes or winks.
Will you let me share my favorite songs with you, even if they’re not your usual vibe? I’ll take you on a journey through my playlist (P.s - We’ll curate many shared playlists, for sure).
Will you ask me to a slow dance with or without music, just because the moment feels right?
Will you volunteer do my some of my voiceovers? If I end up taking content creation seriously, that is. Or, just because?
Will you let me wake you up in the middle of the night just to share a random thought?I’ll try not to make it a habit, but sometimes, I’ll need to tell you something at 3 a.m because midnight thoughts hit differently!
Will you save me the terror of alarm sounds (I hate it!) and wake me up instead—gently, please? I’m not a morning person.
Will you help me pick out clothes when I can’t decide what to wear? I might probably reject half of your suggestions, but I’ll love that you indulged me.
Will you eat the food I can’t finish without bugging me about my weird eating habit?
Will you watch my favorite old movies even if they’re not your thing? Will you sit through the cheesy rom-coms just because you know how much I enjoy them?
Will you explain how your favourite game works, and give me high five even if I don't understand half of what's going on?
Will frequently ask me, “What’s on your mind?”—because that's how much my thoughts fascinate you?
Will you make an appearance sooner rather than later? You’re making a girl, your woman, wait—but I know it’s all worth it. One, I trust what God has said (revealed) to me about you.
I await you, my beloved. I just pray cringe doesn’t rob me of all these sweetness and more when it starts looking like it—I can be weird like that. (Phew!)
Yours in Quality love, Adebola. 🦋
Trivia:
Q: Why 25 things?
A: There are five love languages, innit? Five times five gives 25. Think of it as the five love languages finding expression in five different ways, since I can't make up my mind as to which is primary for me anymore 😂.
(P.S.: For some of the 25 things, the context is marriage. This space doesn’t endorse “fornicasheen,” please lol).
Finally…
On this last day—and with this final post for the month—I just want to say thank you for reading, engaging, and making this month eventful. Every like, comment (and silent read), means so much.
March is coming with more, as God wills. I’m thinking of sharing some of my thoughts on friendships—maybe because I have more friends celebrating their birthdays in that month than any other…haha.
Till then. 💛
