I want to appreciate my girlfriend, whom I’ve been with for five years. The journey hasn’t been easy. We’ve been through days when things were really tough and we had nothing but hope. No love story is perfect. We’ve had our fair share of misunderstandings.

Sometimes we would get into fights so bad that we had to endure long nights of silence to let the storm pass. Those moments could not shake our bond.

Even though I had a lot of learning to do over the years, Foriwa believed in us. She encouraged me, supported me, and loved me when I was at my lowest.

Through the ups and downs we encountered, she is still glued to my side. This is how I know that she loves me. Other men have come her way but I am the only one she has eyes for. She doesn’t entertain them let alone give them a chance.

I know I have made you a lot of promises about the future, my Bambi. All I want to tell you is, “Mmerɛ pa bɛba.” When the time is right, all our plans will be made manifest.

I have seen the way you’ve stood by me over the years and that’s how I know that our love is rare. I want to shout it from the rooftops but it won’t go far enough. So I am sharing our story here, to tell the world that I love you so much. On any day, at any time of day, don’t ever doubt that I cherish you deeply.

Thank you for loving me through thick and thin, my Bambi. May the years bless us with more blessings and mature our love like fine wine.
