OBAIMOLEMIDE.

That name....

It caught my attention totally.

I don't really know how to explain Obaimolemide.

Maybe that's the problem.

Tho it used to me my favorite artist name, before he passed on.

Hearing someone bear the name again brought something back;

Something that felt long lost and sad.

You know......

Some people come into your life and you can describe exactly what they mean to you. You can give them a name, a title, a reason.

But then there are people like Obaimolemide.

Being someone,who looks so scary,on the outside but totally different on the inside.

Misjudged.

Misunderstood.

But yet still focused and gentle/calm.

People who somehow become a feeling.

A memory.

A safe place.

So poetic, OBAIMOLEMIDE.

A name of hope.

A name of warmth.

A name of word .

A name of NAME.

A name that brings brightness.

A name of purpose.

A name of power.

A name which commands.

Listen to this yourself 

"OBAIMOLEMIDE"

King, ruler, royalty, light...........

...................................

A question you don't want answered because you're afraid the answer might change everything.

Obaimolemide isn't just a person to me.

At least, I don't think so.

You know there are people you meet and forget.

People you meet and remember.

And then there are those rare people who quietly become a part of you without asking for permission.

That's what Obaimolemide feels like.

I could tell you about the things they do.

The little things.

The things they probably don't even realize I notice.

I could tell you about the way their presence changes the atmosphere.

But somehow, words make it smaller.

Because how do you explain someone who can make an ordinary moment feel like a memory before it has even ended?

How do you explain someone whose name alone can carry an entire story?

Maybe Obaimolemide isn't supposed to be explained.

Maybe some people are meant to remain mysteries.

And maybe that's why, whenever I think about this person, I don't ask myself,

"Who is Obaimolemide?"

I ask myself something much harder:

"What exactly did Obaimolemide become to me?"

And honestly...

I'm still trying to find the answer.

Surprisingly for both questions.
