Some days, events, things, moments & people are hard to forget

I once fell from an apple tree when I was 3.
It wasn't tall thus n so was my fall.
Bruises I may have gotten but my childhood memories..
Tell me those were sooner forgotten...
d prize was in my hand.
Is tht why I neva forgot tht event?

I once lost control driving 2 Zaria yrs ago...
Thn, I hadn't perfected climbing d road.
Wht cld have been was since forgotten...
as I made it 2 my destination...
tht era's subject of my attention.
Now each time I drive past d spot...
I wonder, cld lyf have ended on tht spot?
Is tht why I neva forgot tht moment?

I once had d most loyal friend eva...
she was so loyal tht everyone had at some point hurt me...
But not her, not Athena!
She was a 4 legged beauty tht neva asked 4 anything...
Save 4 d occasional attention.
I took her off another, one hot afternoon for a price.
I thot I was acquiring just another pet.
Athena proved me wrong!
Till today, everyone in my family sheds a tear for Athena.
We lost her after 4 yrs...
4 yrs of unwavering loyalty!
Each time I ply d streets of Ikoyi...
Athena's memory haunts me.
We love U Athena!
Is there any need asking why I can never forget such a creature?

I once had a boss who was my personal hell on earth!
He was proud of bein a sadist...Imagine tht!
In his long corporate career..
His victims on d job were numerous:
Some had cried, thn resigned.
Some had almost beat him up, thot otherwise, & resigned.
Some had been smart enuf...
They got higher powers to whisk em away!
Some just soaked it in.
Me! Tht wasn't me! I gave it 2 him.
I resigned.I still remember my moment!
He huffed n he puffed!
Talked bout how he was gonna get me sacked...Haha!
I dropped a letter on his Arse...
While he was still rantin!
While he was thinkin of which impossible task he was gonna give me..lol
My crowning moment was whn he asked:Why?
Why can't you think over this Ibrahim?
Wht r u gonna do?
Where Will you get another job?
I told him I'd rather stay home...
Collecting pocket money from my parents...
Thn work another day with him!
I still remember tht day...Cos of d look on his face!

I once was given a number.
I was to call someone...
Someone who I had neva met...
Someone who had neva met me!
One cool night in Dec, I dialed d number!
D voice tht greeted me was...It was silky!
It was like a wave on a calm summer mornin!
I met tht voice d next day!
Tht voice n I saw n called each other for 9 months...
Thn it all ended. Somehow!
How? I still wonder!
One yr after tht call...Today infact !I remember tht moment clearly!
Cld I have done anythin to have made today different?
Cld today have been...An anniversary of some sort,
One we wld both have talked of, smilin?
This is one day, event, thing, moment and person I will neva forget.
Need I ask why?
