My Heartfelt Apology to My Black Lover!

I know stuff has been said about me and my relationship with you. Mostly that it is hot and cold; and yes, it might be true.
Pictures of me extremely close to others and not you, My Black Beauty, have been taken and forwarded to your inbox. You look at them. I don’t know if you pretend not to be bothered. 
You are always by my side (and sometimes in my hand) whenever I am come running to you.
You are a constant fixture; both in happiness and sorrow.
We have been through so much and I am sure you know it all. Sometimes, you remind me about it; but to reassure you, I haven’t forgotten how far we have come. I believe we still have so much to accomplish together.
I know you know that you were not my first. Nor were you my second or third. Not even fourth!
Before meeting and getting to know you and of course ‘sampling’ you to establish how sweet you taste, before you became my Personal Person, I was involved with quite a number of others of your kind. Well, not exactly your kind. 
They were much bigger in than you. My friends call them CHUBBY. Only one person I know calls them EBONY.
I have since given up on them ‘big’ things for you my proportional shapely lover. Your ample hips literary kill me, especially when you wear that black mini skirt of yours with a little of yellow. You know it. And I like taking it off you when I hold you in my Superman like arms.  
But today you are my ONLY because you are absolutely ‘made of more’…whatever your creators used!  
I Promise you are the only one.
Those I used to roll with now envy us whenever we sit at the table of Men. They envy you because of your etiquette since you are well travelled unlike those locals I used to chill with before we became close.
I think it is because you are basically a foreigner since you have five permanent homes all over the world; one in Europe, another in Asia and the rest in West Africa.
My life changed for the better when I met you. And I thank the ‘Spirits’ that sent me to you.
Much as we have our low moments; when you make me sleep out of my bed. Sometimes in strangers’ homes. We always end up together!
Most times you are a sweet soul; taste like milky cream. On those unfortunate occasions you are a tad bitter, but in a delicious refreshing way and then you end up going down easy. You always excite me.
I am deeply sorry about those rumours of me and those not you.
I am Sorry Guinness.
Let us meet at exactly 17:59hrs, whenever we can, at Kyadondo and I tell you more about how I feel about you.
Yours Thirsty, Rowland Bon Gaucho Nkahebwa
