Mutesi Fatuma

My eyes were so blind,
Unconsciously, I couldn't think,
Totally, feelings engulfed my heart,
End of my manly thoughts started,
Silently, the power of love defeated me,
In fact, I could not escape my weakness.

For every single day I spent with her,
And the nights talking about her;
The best friend of mine figured out my secret,
Undoubtedly, he said: "man, you really love her."
Maybe she loved me too or not, but—
All I wanted was to gratify her, and I've just tried.
