Not a Love Song
How was that? Did I do the song justice?
One night, while scrolling through her social media feed, she stumbled upon a song by Big Kuza called "Not a Love Song." The lyrics spoke directly to her jaded heart, echoing her own sentiments about the futility of love.
Akua had given up on love. Or so she thought. After a string of failed relationships and a nasty breakup, she convinced herself that love was just a myth perpetuated by Hallmark and the music industry.
His name was Kael, and he was a free-spirited artist with a quick wit and a charming smile. They collided at an art gallery opening, bonding over their shared love of abstract expressionism and good coffee.
One evening, as they sat on a hill overlooking the city, Kael turned to her and said, "I know you think you're not looking for love, but I think you are. You're just scared."
But then, one fateful evening, she met him.
The song became her anthem, a reminder that she was better off without the drama and heartache that came with romantic entanglements. Akua blasted the song on repeat, singing along to the catchy hooks and convincing herself that she was just fine on her own.
