she said "she's okay"

Its stormy in lagos on a cool april night, I come home from work to see my baby staring at the moonlight, shivering in the cold I ask her"what's the matter" she says "I'm okay".

We went out with friends, and this girl caught my eye started flirting,noticed my baby look my way, I could see her crying inside so i clean up my act and ask her "baby whats wrong" she says"I'm okay"

So we had our first kid and it was a girl but i was out with my friends while she put to bed i get there the day after and see her with tears in her eyes i ask her why the tears she said "I'm okay"

Our fifth year anniversary and I plum forgot came home and didnt get her a thing with lights turned down low a glass of wine in her hand she greets me at the door and said hapyy anniversary I just stand there with a dumb look on my face she shuts herself in the room and cries all night I stay by the door and tell her how sorry I am, tell her to give me a chance to be a better man.

That was thirty years ago if it was a day, and now she looks at me with love in her eyes so when she starts to tear and I ask her "why?" she says now I'm truly okay"
