Adebukola,

I've tried to put this into words a few times, and somehow it never feels like it fully captures how I feel… but I'll try anyway.

There's something about you that lingers with me.

It's in the way you smile, the way your eyes light up when you're talking… even the little things you probably don't notice about yourself.

You don't just pass through my mind —
you stay there.

Being around you doesn't feel ordinary to me. My attention is just on you without me even trying, and it's the kind of feeling that's hard to ignore.

You make moments feel softer, warmer…

I even find myself thinking about little moments — like the way you hold my hand in public. It's such a simple thing, but it means more to me than you probably realise.

I've caught myself thinking about you
on random days.

Remembering little things, wishing I could have more of those moments with you. And that's when I knew — this isn't just something small or passing.

I love you, Adebukola.

In a real way. The kind that makes me want to be intentional, to be present, and to actually build something meaningful with you.

So I won't
overcomplicate it…

You mean a lot to me, Adebukola.

— Your fine boy, Babatunde 💙

I would really like you to be
my girlfriend.

Please, don't say any 'But' 🤌🏽😡
because I know you 😭
