I have loved you from the earliest days of our youth,
When we fetched water on our heads,
To when I watched you make your first rubber sling.
Your memory has never left me
Though I am so far away,
For how could I forget when you got drunk with stolen palm wine
And put your hands around my waist?
Or the times I caught you looking
when in my early teens I learned to sway my hips?
Seems like it was only yesterday
When I first experienced young love
As you held me in your arms and said you'd never leave me.
How well I remember your funny stories
Told as we sat around the fire hearth at night.
I long for the lazy days
Of lying on the grass under the moonlight,
Just me and you, two young souls,
Our hearts pure, dreaming
Of nothing but the best
That life had to offer.
