FakFil writes First Lyrics!

It was like a play. I was on a casual visit to a relative's place. Her children were a bit interesting, and for the fact that I am a young poet, they tried to see my wits. The eldest daughter asked me to write something about love.
I was like, "Love? I haven't written anything about love in weeks. The only thing that has been connecting me to love was WestLife", I replied. But I rethought: "if this is a local impromptu request, what if I'm confronted with a bigger one?"
So I asked for a plain sheet and a pencil, and before I got the items, I managed to guess what my first lines would be. It was like a melodrama. All three sisters were on audition, waiting for my commencement so they can applaud, or dissuade.
So I started:

"I feel like I'm in love, O my baby.
I don't know why you left, O my baby.
I still long for your love, O my baby.
You never cared I was hurt, O my baby.
I don't know how I felt, O my baby.
As you did run away, O my baby.
But now tonight I found rest, O my baby.
I thank God for His peace in my life, yeah..."

It was like they were not yet satisfied with what I wrote. So the last sister said, "and you call yourself FakFil?" I was enraged, embittered, that I couldn't show off the meaning of my name to my cousin, even if it were my official nickname. With anger, I thought about the meaning of FakFil. "Fix A Kiss, Fall In Love".
So I continued:

"It was back in '99, I was working all around the clock,
My friends thought I was fine, yeah, my spirit hung under the rocks.
I thought, thought and thought, I kept thinking in my mind,
Till the clocked ticked 9 that night, I was up under the skies.
Yeah I fought, fought and fought, till my strength hung down the lines,
I was screaming in my mind, I was feeling like I'm sad.
There was something from behind, like a cup of tasteless love,
Which kept tearing me apiece, sending cold air down my spine,
Days of love, days of joy, kept on ringing in my mind,
For I long just once again, hope to hold you in my arms.
Days of fights, days of tears, held me speechless, I was sad,
For I long now to see, how I'll hold you in my arms,
But the longer you said "NO", I don't know how I flow;
I was left hypnotized, all alone...
Now tonight I am here, I am flying without wings,
I'm so glad I found rest, and I'm feeling happy!"

"I feel like I'm in love, O my baby.
I don't know why you left, O my baby.
I still long for your love, O my baby.
You never cared I was hurt, O my baby.
I don't know how I felt, O my baby.
As you did run away, O my baby.
But now tonight I found rest, O my baby.
I thank God for His peace in my life, yeah.."

"Well it;s true what I see, you're the only girl that makes me trip,
For the first day we met, I was really feeling like I'm spelled,
So why now o why, would you steal my love away,
O I cannot think or work, 'tis a job for me to play,
O I try not to cry, but I'm feeling like a fool,
For I played the gentleman, yet you left me, hey so soon...
Baby now I have learnt not to trust or lean on love,
For the more of love you see, is the more neglect you feel,
I will rise to my feet from the pieces I was left,
You are now history, thanks for teaching me your best.
O my God, I am here, in Your Holy Place to pray,
You can bring me back to life, once again...
Now tonight I am here, and I'm flying without wings,
I'm so glad I found rest, and I'm feeling happy...

"I feel like I'm in love, O my baby.
I don't know why you left, O my baby.
I still long for your love, O my baby.
You never cared I was hurt, O my baby.
I don't know how I felt, O my baby.
As you did run away, O my baby.
But now tonight I found rest, O my baby.
I thank God for His peace in my life, yeah.."

By the time I finished my lines, I was refreshed in the brain. Infact, I didnt know where the tune came from,. and suddenly, the lyrics became a song. My cousins applauded me, and I felt like fulfilled.
