ROMANCE: "YOU WANT TO MARRY ME" BY AJAKAYE AND RAYCHEAL'S SEQUEL

You want to marry me!

Can you watch me read till 2:00 am before your romantic rights?

do you understand the peace I receive in academics?

I trust you know I literarily love thousands of men.

Do you understand that my professional roles begin by 7:00 am?

You want to marry me!

Don't feel unaware of my societal significance,

never complain when I get home late,

it is pure profession, not infidelity,

are you productively interactive?

You want to marry me!

Your passion for me must not threaten my unique zeal,

don't ever think me "overambitious",

I might kneel before you every morning for "good morning"

but never think about my self- value kneeling.

You want to marry me!

Can you tolerate me not being home a week for ESAN Conference?

Would my dream be important as your life to you?

Do you know I have been proudly single before your arrival?

Are you as busy as I am, and not attention hungered?

You want to marry me!

Know that I am as caring as you are to me,

I am as reliable as you are to me,

you are as worthy as I am to you,

read the aforementioned lines again if you want to marry me.

You want to be my wife!

I'll watch you read till 2:00 am,

Your peace is my priority, your dreams my aim.

I understand your love for thousands of books,

And the significance you bring to your professional hooks.

Your societal impact inspires me,

I'll support your late nights, your dedication I'll see.

No complaints, no doubts, just admiration and cheer,

For the woman who's making her mark, I will be there.

You want to be my wife!

I'll nurture your zeal, your passion, your fire,

No labels, no limits, just growth and desire.

I'll kneel with you, side by side,

Valuing your worth, your dreams, your pride.

You want to be my wife!

I'll wait patiently while you're away,

At the ESAN Conference, you shine unto the perfect day.

Your dreams are my dreams, together we will birth them.

Together we'll soar, in love and devotion shown.

You want to be my wife!

I know you've been proudly single,

Independent, strong, and fiercely brilliant.

I'll match your energy, your drive, your might,

No attention-seeking, just love and delight.

You want to be my wife!

I promise to care, to support, to adore,

To be your rock, your partner, forevermore.

I'm as committed as you are, in this journey we'll share,

Together, our love will flourish, without a care.
