Dear Kofo-part 1

...so i met you for the very first time in college , well you were new and i was old, you were quiet,cute, witty, nice and gentle, i said a few hello's to you once in a while and that was all there was to it. i travelled to the uk for university and it so happened you travelled too and to the same university, you had this close friend, and i always looked at you both like some sort of kill joy, you made funny faces when u saw me with other friends,guys or whenever i had dressed to go for parties because u were in the same halls of residence i was, you guys thought we were those "girls", guys came to pick us up and all,it was fun, but u were dissapointed, you couldn't stand our guts..teehee......... when we made noise at the back of the class,you gave me this look...... you were a gig, u know the brainy type, all dressed up in some tacky clothes and those herrendous glasses..oh my were they horrible?..all you cared about were your books...i did too, only i was sociable and a bit eye opened than you were....

It happened this day that i was desperate to move out from the halls to an apartment, and your friend needed to move too, we moved in together, which meant you had to come once in a while and u did, we started getting closer, it was scary, we had a lot in common, we didn't know about, i mean why did we think the same way?, we began to grow even more closer.....
i remember the day i was crying because i had heard about papi's so called girlfriend *they said he was cheating on me, i was just a bloody fresher*...i wept so much and you saw me crying, you said a lot of things that made me feel better, i cried on your shoulder and you were there, u made me feel much better...that moment i knew you were my friend, i mean i didn't expect all that from you,but you kept on calling to make sure i was ok, you were consistent, and you even hugged me and said it was ok.

So days passed, months passed, everyone noticed we were getting closer, we went everywhere together, did things together, bought the same clothes, helped each other in times of need, you were a sister, a mother, a confidant and my bestfriend, i loved you so much and i know you did too, i mean we sacrificed a lot for each other...everyone said i was opening your eye, you loosened up a bit, you were friendlier, you even became more fashionable than i was, and oh my God, you couldn't get away from the mirror anymore...u vain thing!!!...lol...the shocker, you were beginning to fall in love with a guy as well....hmm

We gradually started pushing your friend away, she noticed we were closer, but it just so happened, things happened the way they happened..it was beautiful, we were inseparable, we made jokes about everything, we teased, we winked or pinched each other when the feeling was mutual....you were mischievious, and we caught trips everytime....we spoke to each other about our relationships,how we felt, what we planned to do, infact on my own part i didn't hold anything back, you didn't then but things changed. remember when you were not sure if you were dating him and i had scolded you to text him, so you know were you stood....and you did, and i was happy for you

we had our hiccups sometimes, but it wasn't for long, we never spoke about our quarells, but we always sorted it out by just talking to each other as if nothing had happened *maybe that was a problem too*....so your sister was coming into the country to study too and i was scared, i felt like the friendship would change, i felt like there would be a third party,i mean i told you everything, i mean everything, what about if you told your sister? i felt like you would isolate me and there would be a trio going on, i mean blood is ticker than water....

So i soon got over that and we were a family, although i did feel left out sometimes but i was soon over it after a while, i had to come to terms with the fact that everything i told you, your sister had to be aware as well...sometimes it felt like when we had our little misunderstandings you couldn't be bothered to make efforts any longee cos your sister was there...well you forgot u were my only sister here and i may be selfish but i needed you to understand that..although you did say the same way you treated your sister was the same way you had treated me, but are u sure?, but really that wasn't the issue, because i soon took her as a family.......

so this very day we decide we want to move in together *i wish i could go back and correct things*we decide it was better we lived together, i mean you were tolerant, i was the outspoken and agressive one, but we tolerated each other, i was withdrawn about this at first, but everyone said it was ok, nothing could go wrong..we were wrong, so many things went wrong....

To be continued....
