Letter For An Ex

CHAPTER TWO

I am writing this letter from Lagos, at the spot we first met for a date and you promised to marry me no matter the circumstances. I still wonder why the devil didn't whisper to me that all those promises were hell of lies, well you're the devil himself so there's no point for thinking about all of these.
Little Wonder, my friends kept telling me to avoid you but I thought they were jealous of me, and now I know that they foresaw this coming. Love is blind indeed. All stories cut short, on the 26th day of December in 2015 (Boxing Day), you visited my family and I introduced you as my fiancé. They welcomed you with full hands and accepted you as my future husband, why then did you break my heart???. I even connected you to my uncle, uncle Gabriel who gave you a job in the PeaceCOMM company, here in Lagos State. But you got so busy with work that you could no longer come to see me nor call me on phone, I didn't complain though because I was happy that you've started earning some money. Before you got that job, I was a banker in the Lagos State Community Bank but I never used it as an excuse to make you feel lonely or left alone. That's why I would rather say that men are unsacrificial in nature, you can't even make sacrifices for the one you claim that you love.
On the 1st Day of January in 2016, you took me to Jordan Music Hall and it was shocking to me 'cause I never believed that you would be free to take me out due to work conditions, but I remembered that it was a short holiday for the new year. I can still recall that the song played in the hall went like this:

There's glitter on the floor after the party
Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby
Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor
You and me from the night before, but

Don't read the last page
But I stay when you're lost, and I'm scared
And you're turning away
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day

You squeeze my hand three times in the back of the taxi
I can tell that it's gonna be a long road
I'll be there if you're the toast of the town, babe
Or if you strike out and you're crawling home

Don't read the last page
But I stay when it's hard, or it's wrong
Or we're making mistakes
I want your midnights
But I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day....

The song was sang by the music legend Taylor Swift and it was titled "New Year's Day". I kept trying to analyze the contents of this song until it got to:

...Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you
And I will hold on to you

Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere
Please don't ever become a stranger
Whose laugh I could recognize anywhere..

And I was like "Will I ever loose you???", a question I couldn't answer myself until now. I don't think I lost you, you lost me rather.
