MY FIRST LOVE
For
reasons to do with emotional support, I decided to turn my attention
to a young man during a crucial time of my life -hence leaving
me with a question: 'was this a prelude to spiritual death' (?),
knowing full well that the surge of emotional needs was ever so
strong within me, and the attraction between us was spontaneous. The
nature of this relationship was of such as to awaken feelings call it
infatuation; I don't know what else
At
that time I was twenty-one and he, five years older. ROGER
WAS THE IDEAL MAN OF MY DREAMS.
In terms of stature, he was five feet nine inches tall, carrying a
good body weight of about sixteen stones, enough to earn himself the
pet name " BULK- MAN". His eyes were big and bold; Clean
shaved, well dressed and well presented. Not only was he
academically qualified but skilled in terms of a trade. He was an
electrician. For want of family background and status, he was
opposite of me in the sense of hailing from a family of good values
and sound educational standing -he being the youngest of
siblings living at home with his parents.
Roger's
attraction towards me, was rooted and grounded back there in
childhood when as an Electrician, he was employed by my Dad to come
and carry out electrical work whilst the building our house was in
progress. Contact (in secret) from his beady bold eyes had
never failed to awaken my earliest responses to learn to value and
respect his presence! So much so as years rolled over,a deep-seated,
and binding attraction was the end product.
