IT ALL CAME TOGETHER

First there was none.
Or there might have been some in pockets.

He was the boy next-door who shot to fame for being him
He was the easily misunderstood who walked tall.

She was the Queen of the Prom
She was the one we could not Fathom

She was the voice you heard but did not see
He was the one who made it all fit

He was the easily misjudged
I was... me?

I was in the university with FIT but we became closer when he designed look after look for me. I met THE VOICE once or twice, always unsure. Sometimes i loved her, then i thought she didn't like me and so i hated her. Then i realised i liked her and then...
And all this without her knowing!

The world loved THE BOY NEXT DOOR
But i loved the one who loved him.
I got to interview him, and was really happy he wasnt a dickhead
im sorry, but some overnight celebs can totally be.
So we became acquaintances, and it was easy to be around him!

Him i had never met, nor heard of.
And i was glad for at some point, a decision rested with me.
But then i met him, and thought, "Rather Pompous fellow, isnt he?"
Alas, thats why he is MISUNDERSTOOD.
The next time i met him, thought he was a dickhead for not getting my number
And then the next time, realised why he was frequently misunderstood.

INDISCERNIBLE was for me, totally that!
I just could not figure her out.
Always with PROM QUEEN, i wondered what kind of person she was.
What made her laugh?
Could i make her laugh?
Is she an effico?
That i concluded must be the case
(WRONGER i could not have been!)

PROM QUEEN is everything contradictory.
And maybe she i love the most
Beauty and Brains, Calm but Feisty, Together but Vulnerable.

And as for MISCONSTRUED
A blacker fellow i had never seen!
And that was all i cd focus on for a while.
And then he was pretentious wasn't he?
Where does he come off being so opinionated?
Or expressing his opinionatedness so opinononatedly?!
Till he got me a job and we travelled
ANd i was shocked!
He drinks?
Has a sense of humour?
Is so calm?
And maybe deserves to BE opinionated
DANG!!!

There they were, and there i was
And we would have been, if fate was not
For somehow, our paths were destined to cross...
and keep crossing

From auctions to awards, interviews to drinks
We kept bumping into one another
Till we went for the trip as eight
and came back as a collective

I on an early bus, they on the other one
And he the last of all

It might have been the games we played
The mutual attractions
The trying hard to make the blind heart see
The wondering what lines to keep
But something happened by the first hennessy!

BAck to Lagos, and yet again it might have died
But a reaction, equal and opposite to an action, caused a further bond
Over drinks we laughed and joked
Thinking how well it fit
For each of us, in our little ways, were outsiders for the world to see
But here, the outside ruled!

We fight sometimes, then kiss and make up
Cliques within the clique remain
Some try to define us
We dont even try

TRULY UNRULY
LEt the journey begin!


Now,
