love at the right time || photography by mofliks
we’ve always known each other,
having grown up in the Ghanaian community
in Rhode Island; yet we never really meshed
with each other. he is older than i am
so we did not run in the same circle of friends.
(Side note: when my mother was pregnant with me,
they said Darryl used to be so attached to my mom;
they called him her little boy friend.)
First time I saw him, i thought he was handsome,
it was at a mutual friend’s birthday party.
We said hi for the first time.
he called me by my older sister’s name as most people do.
I corrected him and said; Stacy...
he went on to wipe sweat off my forehead
and said “gee you’re sweating”.
After that party, I tried to look him up on
Facebook but he did not have social media.
