Two people who had so much to say to each other, Suddenly have nothing to say to themselves anymore. Their discussions basically reduce to small talks. This is very typical when couples break up. There is usually that awkward moment of silence, accompanied by a strange feeling of rejection and disappointment. A lot of times, a lot of people feel like the world is closing in on them, these feelings often recur after when couples break-up. Most times people care a lot less about anything or anyone else, they barely even have any time for themselves.
We ask ourselves what "the" reason behind "the" break-up was, After much searching, we make excuses and try to find solace in those excuses we've made so we don't hurt ourselves. We try to seek counsel from others and possible solution, which most times becomes counter productive.
A lot of times i have asked myself where lovers go after a fight?
Where they take refuge after a break-up?
And before the break-up, at what point did the distance start creeping in?
If it wasn't LOVE then what was it ?
A lot of times couples throw blames back and forth at themselves, that's when it strikes like a blow "the break-up". It hurts as loneliness strolls in. Angels still cry.
True love is a gift but a lot of people let it sleep of their fingers.
I once read this " Love only exists in the hearts of those who have got strength enough to carry it". An adage that also says " TRUE LOVE conquers all ".
I know at some point we have loved, and lost. we have had break-ups and make-ups, some people picked up strength and courage to move on, some couldn't simply find any, and others got stuck, up till this very moment.
Lightening don't strike the same place twice, when couple say good-bye, i feel the angels cry. Would you say couples let their love sleep in the storm? Most times one makes all the sacrifices and the other doesn't.
Memories don't ever fade and love never dies. If you find love at any point in your life, make sure to cherish it. A lot of times people never get the chance to re-write their wrongs and so many people don't get the roses while they can still smell them. At every point remember LOVE is a beautiful thing.

A Socialization process which instilled unnatural hatred for dark skin. Part-1
This short text was adapted from the book Nile Valley Contribution to Civilization by Anthony. T . Browder.
"If you're white, you're alright
If you're yellow,you're mellow
If you're brown, stick around
If you're black, get back.
This is an attitude that was created by a socialization process, which instilled unnatural hatred for dark skin pigmentation in the minds of most Negros (people of African descent/ African American).
This attitude reflects in a disturbing put-down of blackness that has been a part of the African communities for years. Throughout most of this century, Africans have been viewed by both blacks and white as savage and ignorant subhuman beings. " Now my question; is this really true or a make belief drafted by a certain group or race who think of themselves as superior to the African race?
Oh! Africa, why would anyone think of you as less than what you are?
You had a kingdom, you had a thrown, you had a crown.
In the quiet of the night came invaders to forcefully strip you of your possessions, chased you away and made you a slave in your own courtyard.
My Nubian queen, Mother of civilization,
Cries and endless Nile of tears
and brought her children to a center of commerce and civilization
Oh! Africa, forced out of your own lands and sold into slavery
you lost your heritage, dignity and pride.
