The lonely days are over Now a compadre has come
Here, comes the soul that
Would keep my company

Marrer has chased solitude
Out of my country
No feeling of emptiness and isolation anymore

How about finding yourself
In a room crowded with
People and you still feel lonely
Would you still love?

Bezzie is tall and smart
He has a very good dress sense
And that's admired often by people

I'm smitten with her shape
I like her dress sense
Her figure eight shape skin colour
Hmmm!
She's endowed

I think the world of her flat tummy
Her eye ball and her natural
Well shaped eye brown and lip

Probably, motherhood changed her body
And fatherhood responsibilities
Weighed him down
Then oppo became a stranger
As a result of the transformation
Would you still love?

The way marrer talk
Relishes me all the time
He seems to be intelligent and skillful
He's outspoken and smart
He will be a source of inspiration

I love her dexterity
She will be able to keep a home
She will help and encourage me
In building my career

Perhaps your expectations
Turned out to be mere illusion
Would you still love?

In silence your mind is whispering that
You will be free now from
Societal pressure that's choking you daily
No more vacuum
Because oppo has come to fill it

Your self esteem would bd built
The long awaited freedom has come to stay
No more frustration from parents and siblings

Feasibly, you looked into a mirror
And all you could see was an empty house
Because marrer couldn't fill the vacuum
Would you still love?

Mayhap, the affair of the heat petered out
Would the affection and feeling
Remained grenn and genuine?
