Talking about love and love bugs with Chandra Alilijah

just a note for the love bug

It’s the season.

I saw one today.

Well, the version I am calling the love bug.

It flew past me.

Made me smile.

Considerations in love

It’s May 2026, and by now I thought we were spending our first BBQ together.

Making burgers, maybe even wings. A dash of veggies.

Even some pasta salad.

That’s the type of love I am craving.

We have our own party

Rather, it’s just watching movies or heading to the park, that’s a party I want to have with you.

Just the two of us, planning a menu, maybe even a theme.

It’s within

Does falling in love with life start with writing in your bedroom, blogging about love?

Catching a cold because the weather changed way too drastically, and pollen is not your friend.

Is it craving a love story that feels quite new, even for yourself?

Are we seeing the growth

I’ve been writing about love for the last few years.

Is it OD?

Is it an obsession disguised as “growth”? Healing?

Am I overly optimistic about love?

That doesn’t even sound right.

Or is it the ability to know

That I am deserving of sweet kisses that surprise me.

Compliments about me, from someone I find so special. Returned with more kisses and compliments.

“I like you too.”

Is it movie nights where we watch something?

It’s a random pick for both of us.

Or, better yet, is it me taking you around the neighborhood and showing you where I grew up?

Explaining to you the value of building community within. Spitting to you, how I’m locked in.

Being real with you and transparent.

No, I am not settling

To settle now would not make sense. I spent months studying, now I am going to drop the lesson in the middle of the test?

It’s time I look my best and get it together.

Because it’s knocking.

It’s knocking.

And it’s beyond just good morning and goodnight text.

How can I help you

Better you, encourage you, and develop with you.

Understand you and accept you as the human being that God has chosen for me.

How can we tackle life as a team?

You’re an asset to me, someone who adds value.

They add and add.

Pour into me

Make me feel desired, needed, valued, and seen as the woman you have accepted for longevity.

You see the statue of this woman and only want to add.

Keep her positioned while being an addition.

Work ethic, maintain it. Give you support and tell you verbally, “I see you.”

Creativity, express it. Show it off physically, “this is what they can do.”

Love, embrace it, value it, cherish it, and know “I would hate to lose this.”

With love,

C.Alilijah
