Elusive love

"She has finally married her on-off beau," Chloe remarked over a glass of White Russian.

I know a few friends who never commit themselves to a relationship, but pass on to someone new whenever the feeling of in love fades. I know a couple of others who believe they can make a commitment, yet marry a few times, thinking that falling in love with someone new is proof that their current marriage has gone wrong. I also have some friends who stay married to one person but have a series of affairs.

These people are looking for that elusive love.

Elusive love
by Omolara Ladejobi

Elusive love
I heard you were real
I searched for you
but it was to no avail

Elusive love
I see your shadow
I turned around and
you were gone in a flash

Elusive love
I feel you around
I desperately hoped to see you
Like the gentle breeze
you blew mea scent of you
Never to hold, only to savour
