My Nkiru
She was desperate to find love
I was desperate for my love to
love me
Nkiru was running to find love
While I was waiting patiently for
my love was yet to find me.
We met in an MBA class
And became casual friends
But she was desperate
Age was counting, pressures too
I wanted to be loved and was
willing to wait
But Nkiru was not my chosen love
The closer she got to me the farther
I slipped away from her
She smothered me with her kisses
But I couldn't respond because
I could not pretend
Then my patience paid off
The love of my heart responded
There was a song in my heart
And a spring in my walk
My love has come home to stay
Nkiru couldn't stay any longer
She had become desperate
Age was counting, pressures mounting
So she walked away from life
As my love walked in.
